Over 19 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. But the potentially fatal disorder only presents during sleep-so a large number of sufferers remain unaware of the danger. This program explores the causes of OSA and the treatments available for it. Two instructive case studies will help viewers understand and feel comfortable about current diagnostic approaches, including the completion of a polysomnogram or sleep study. With the expertise of Dr. Stephen Scharf, director of the University of Maryland Sleep Disorder Clinic, and Dr. Rosanne Barker of the Barker Sleep Institute, the program illustrates many of the treatments that have turned the "slow death" of sleep apnea into a new lease on life.
