Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been increasingly used in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though it is unclear whether it can ever be ceased. We describe the clinical, demographic, and polysomnographic (PSG) characteristics of a cohort of children with OSA who were successfully weaned off CPAP.
