Use of Noninvasive Ventilation with Volume-Assured Pressure Support to Avoid Tracheostomy in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

<div>Baseline polysomnogram demonstrated severe obstructive sleep apnea and hypoxemia (a). There was a significant reduction of obstructive events and normalization of oxygenation during AVAPS-AE titration (b). Both figures shown in 2-minute intervals are of rapid eye movement sleep.</div>
