Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is a high-yield topic linked to daytime sleepiness, impaired cognitive function, and motor vehicle crashes. This episode explores CPAP, the primary treatment for improving quality of life and lowering blood pressure. We break down the GP referral criteria for Medicare-funded sleep studies: an ESS score ≥ 8 plus OSA50 (≥5) or STOP-Bang (≥3). Learn to troubleshoot common side effects like nasal dryness and address the 4-hour adherence threshold. Mention alternatives like mandibular advancement devices to demonstrate a comprehensive, patient-centred plan.
