2. Discuss alternatives to CPAP including both surgical
options (e.g. uvulopalatopharyngoplasty [UPPP],
mandibular advancement) and non-surgical methods
(e.g. nasal steroids; rapid maxillary expansion [RME]);
3. Identify strategies to assess success rates of surgical
and non-surgical procedures especially in relation to
the severity of OSA; and
4. Assess factors related to increased adherence to PAP
therapy among children and programs.
