Abstract	Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is increasingly recognised as a condition that not only causes excessive daytime sleepiness, but is also an important cardiovascular risk factor. Treatment of OSA should include conservative measures such as weight loss and positional therapy, the nuances of which are discussed in this article. However this in itself is not sufficient treatment for most patients. The first line of treatment for OSA that is recommended across the entire spectrum of disease is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Indications for initiating CPAP are discussed, as well as possible alternatives to CPAP such as surgery or dental devices. In initiating CPAP treatment, machine-patient interface needs to be carefully considered, as there is a wide range of masks available. Factors to be considered in the choice of CPAP machine and mode are discussed. Finally, patient-specific factors such as patient acceptance of treatment, common problems encountered in CPAP follow-up and the importance of patient education are addressed.
