Overview:
A 64-year-old patient with chronic COPD and newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) came to Enticare reporting poor sleep, daytime fatigue, and frequent hospitalizations for breathing issues.
Challenge:
The patient’s oxygen levels dropped significantly during sleep, causing worsening COPD symptoms and heart strain — a condition known as Overlap Syndrome.
Solution:
Enticare’s sleep specialists conducted an in-lab sleep study and prescribed a tailored CPAP therapy plan with nighttime oxygen supplementation. The team also provided lifestyle guidance, including smoking cessation and positional therapy.
Results:
-
Improved nighttime oxygen saturation by 23% within one month
-
Reduced hospital visits by 50% in three months
-
Reported deeper, uninterrupted sleep and higher daytime energy
Conclusion:
Combining CPAP therapy, oxygen support, and lifestyle changes under Enticare’s care helped this patient manage both COPD and sleep apnea effectively — improving both breathing and sleep quality.
