Summary

Patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) on non-Intensive Care Unit medical services and/or visiting our outpatient Congestive Heart Failure Clinic will be screened using the STOP-BANG Scoring Model. (STOP-BANG stands for Snoring, Tiredness, Observed Apnea, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Age, Neck Circumference, Gender.) Patients with high risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will be referred for evaluation and treatment of Sleep Apnea. They will be followed to determine if treatment of Sleep Apnea improves their quality of life and decreases their utilization of the Hospital and Emergency Department (ED).
