Guest: Richard K. Bogan, MD

Emerging science can help us better understand the link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). While many factors, such as insufficient sleep, medication, or comorbid disorders, can cause your patients with OSA to feel sleepy, chronic sleep disruption and chronic intermittent hypoxia associated with OSA may also contribute to EDS.

Here to discuss the important physiologic changes to gray and white matter that may occur in OSA and lead to EDS is Dr. Richard K. Bogan, Associate Clinical Professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and Chairman and Chief Medical Officer at SleepMed, Inc.

This promotional, non-CME program is intended for U.S. physicians treating OSA.
