The mechanism of CPAP is acting as air splint to avoid principal pharyngeal collapse during sleep. Consequently, extrapharyngeal collapse and significant pharyngeal obstructions can lower its compliance and lead to its failure. Adequate mask and pressure with thorough survey to eliminate side effects of CPAP from nasal, mask and flow-related problems are the prerequisite to improve CPAP compliance.
