Obstructive sleep apnoea in GP (2021 update)

This is a new guideline from NICE on the three different sleep apnoea syndromes, published in August 2021.

They cover three different syndromes in this guideline:

  • OSAHS – Obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome.
  • OHS – Obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
  • COPD-OSAHS overlap syndrome – COPD with OSAHS.

Useful resources
