Willing to post a link or email a copy of the presentation? The first chart is dynamite in explaining why continuing with CPAP therapy is so bloody important!

Why not just post the link, so everyone can read it?
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.
Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy.

Hi y'all
I originally posted the link but thought better of it. The document is on my own website not the originators & I am becoming increasingly concerned about copyright issues. If it was a matter of a link to his site I would happily post that, but because it is on mine, there may be issues to do with usage.
I'll PM a copy to anyone who asks.
Cheers DSM
To those already requesting - you'll have it in a couple of mins

UPDATE: Thanks to Muffy the original is now available from the originator's website

Re: A chart showing OSA effects - Part 1
While following up on one of the associated side effects (or co-morbidities) of OSA/CA I came across these two
medical papers on Chronic Hypoventilation which relates to a patient who does not clear out their blood CO2 well
enough in normal breathing.
The 1st paper discusses the problem as Hypoventilation Syndromes
(note para 6 - Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is another well-known cause of hypoventilation.)
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/304381-overview
the second covers 'Management of Chronic Hypoventilation'

Have added the below link after finding it in the 1st one above - it offers
an interesting perspective on OSA in general. Certainly an opportunity to
expand ones comprehension ... The para starting with "A sleep-related
disordered breathing (SRDB) continuum has been described and is supported
by research" - is a good read ...
