Abstract
The therapeutic strategy of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is dependent on the illness severity, which is influenced by several factors as the presence of comorbidities (particularly cardiovascular comorbidities), the importance of diurnal drowsiness and the number of abnormal respiratory events. Whereas the treatment is most often palliative and uncomfortable, its success is closely dependent on its compliance. The way of starting the treatment of OSAS is therefore an essential topic, which will condition its long-term acceptance.
