Asia-Oceania Conference of Obesity 2023

Our company attended the Asia-Oceania Conference of Obesity 2023 earlier this month. During the conference, multiple doctors shared about different topics related to obesity. Dr. Lam Bing from Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital shared about sleep apnea treatment, here is a quote from Dr. Lam’s speech.

Sleep apnea is the commonest breathing disorder during sleep. Treatment is indicated for patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea. The treatment strategy should be based on the underlying causes, concomitant vascular risk factors and patient’s preference. Continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) therapy is the most effective treatment and should be the treatment of choice for majority of the patients.
