Abstract

Objective: To identify the profile of people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) who are undergoing continuous positive airway pressure treatment. Methods: This study had a quantitative, descriptive-correlational character. Fifty individuals over 18 years of age, of both genders, with a positive diagnosis, participated. The data collection instrument used was a structured questionnaire. Results: It was observed that the older the individual, the greater the probability of an individual presenting the syndrome. The average body mass index (BMI) of 31 which is classified as a degree of obesity. Regarding gender, 30 (60%) were male; 27 (54%) did not smoke; 19 (38%) exercised three times a week, while 20 (40%) never exercised; 22 (44%) consumed alcohol once a week; 30 had 5 to 10 symptoms of OSAS and everyone reported snoring. Hypertension was the most reported comorbidity, with 39 (58%) cases, followed by obesity with 27 (57%) and heart disease with 19 (38%). Difficulty in reaching an OSA diagnosis was reported by 25 (50%) participants, while the other 25 (50%) said they had no difficulties with the diagnosis. Most CPAP treatment was  indicated in 41 (82%) by a doctor, 6 (12%) by a physiotherapist, 1 (2%) by a family member and 2 (4%) by friends. Conclusion: The results indicate difficulties in diagnosis in 50% of cases and list comorbidities in patients with diagnosis and treatment, making it easier for the clinician to identify a profile of patients who may have the disease and carry out investigation.
