Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Serious Mental Illness

"If eligible, participants will be given a clinical Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) device for up to 3 months, while they are waiting for their clinical evaluation from a sleep physician. The APAP device will we will be using is the ResMed Airsense 11 Autoset. APAP is a smart positive airway pressure (PAP) device, where the pressure changes as needed to provide optimal pressure to splint the upper airway. Dr. Lee and Dr. Schmickl will oversee management of the device.~During the first month of APAP use, individuals will participate in weekly phone calls or in-person visits to ensure optimal adherence and troubleshoot any issues (improper mask fitting, discomfort, etc) that may arise."
