Sleep Apnea Stories

Emma is joined by Dr. Karen Davidson, an expert on measuring nasal function and how that can help sleep apnea patients.

* Rhino manometry and how it works to determine nasal resistance.

* Dr. Davidson identifies some of the reasons that rhino manometry hasn't been widely offered to sleep apnea patients in the US.
