“…A pressão positiva nas vias aéreas superiores gera uma desobstrução deixando as vias aéreas abertas o que resulta em uma melhora na gravidade da doença de forma significativa, melhorando o sono e consequentemente a qualidade de vida. Essa pressão por sua vez pode ser fixa por todo o período de sono ou autoajustável de acordo com a necessidade do usuário (PERIN C, et al, 2021).

Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (AOS) can be characterized as a disorder of total or partial obstruction of the upper airways, causing symptoms such as non-restorative sleep, snoring, choking and fatigue associated with cardiovascular diseases, where the VNI uses positive pressures to reduce the work of breathing and increase oxygenation and lung compliance. Objective: To know the profile of CPAP users as a form of treatment for AOS. Methods: This was a descriptive research, carried out in a digital environment, based on validated questionnaires specific for each proposed objective, with data presented as mean and standard deviation or raw data, through SPSS 23.0 with the significance level adopted p<0.05. Results: A total of 82 individuals participated, considering that there were three exclusions for not meeting the inclusion criteria, 79 were evaluated using the PSQI and ESE questionnaires, which evaluated the presence of poor quality sleep without changes in daytime sleepiness of the individuals. Conclusion: it was observed that the use of CPAP for the treatment of OSA improved the users' sleep; even though most of them had a poor quality of sleep, their daytime sleepiness was considered normal.
