Objective To analyze the value of applying continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP therapy) in patients with obstructive sleepnea (OSA). Methods Among the 76 OSA patients who visited from December 2023 to August 2025, 38 cases randomly assigned to the control group for routine treatment, and 38 cases were assigned to the observation group for CPAP therapy. The apnea hypopnea index and the lowest oxygen at night, sleep latency and sleep quality score were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the apnea hypopnea index in the observation group was lower that in the control group, the lowest pulse oxygen at night was higher than that in the control group, the sleep latency in the observation group was lower than that in the control group and the PQSI sleep score was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion CP therapy has a promoting effect on the sleep quality of OSA patients, which can improve hypoxemia and apnea, and make the patient's night sleep better.
