Emma answers listener questions. In this episode: Q) How can I stop air leaking from the mask? I can't wear it any tighter. Q) How can I keep the mask from irritating my face? Any liners that work well? Q) If there's no leaking, do I still need to change them every 3-6 months? Q) Do you wash new CPAP supplies? Q) How do people manage camping/adventures with their kids and using CPAP? Q) 2 weeks using CPAP, when should I see a change? I honestly feel more exhausted than before. Q) Suggestions for having a big tongue that could be causing sleep apnea?

Emma is joined by Dr. Eric Thuler, an adjunct Professor in sleep surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. In this episode: * Dr. Thuler explains how he trained in medicine and got into otolaryngology for his residency. * Eric explains research into DISE and CT scans of OSA patients. * Research with myofunctional therapists and how tongue positioning could change the airway. * Joining the group at University of Pennsylvania to develop a way to measure upper airway collapsibility. * Questioning whether AHI is the best measure for OSA when it is really the effort to breathe which depends upon collapsibility. * Research into soft tissue volume and how that didn't show a relationship to increased collapsibility. However, they found that increased tongue volume did indicate a higher collapsibility of the airway. * Using the Da Vinci system to do less invasive surgery. * Looking at narrow and underdeveloped jaws and how that affects whether there is enough room for the tongue. * Dr. Thuler explains that obstructive sleep apnea requires choosing the right treatment option for the right patient.
