How often can patients actually discontinue cpap after a septoplasty to fix a deviated septum? Do you feel the evidence for this surgery is adequate or are many of these done unnecessarily?
what about rhinitis? Can rhinitis in itself cause someone to have OSA? Ie. I have a patient that states he gets exhausted and occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night , but this only occurs when he has a runny nose. Has not really responded to CPAP or nasal steroids. Does this make any sense?
