    La apnea del sueño es un trastorno frecuente que afecta a millones de personas en todo el mundo, caracterizado por interrupciones en la respiración durante el sueño. Este artículo monográfico revisa los problemas de sueño, específicamente la apnea, sus tratamientos y enfoques terapéuticos. Se abordan aspectos epidemiológicos, factores de riesgo, diagnóstico y tratamientos disponibles, incluyendo intervenciones no farmacológicas y farmacológicas, con énfasis en el uso de dispositivos de presión positiva continua en la vía aérea (CPAP). Además, se examinan las estrategias de manejo para mejorar la adherencia al tratamiento y la calidad de vida de los pacientes. La importancia de un diagnóstico temprano y un tratamiento adecuado es crucial para prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo asociadas con la apnea del sueño.

    Sleep apnea is a common disorder affecting millions of people worldwide, characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep. This monographic article reviews sleep problems, specifically apnea, its treatments, and therapeutic approaches. Epidemiological aspects, risk factors, diagnosis, and available treatments are discussed, including non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions, with an emphasis on the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices. Additionally, management strategies to improve treatment adherence and patients’ quality of life are examined. The importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is crucial to prevent long-term complications associated with sleep apnea.
