Study: After Watching Disturbing Video, CPAP Usage Soars 1

Caption

Seeing is believing for John Brugger, of Commerce City, Colo. Brugger rarely wore his CPAP mask for sleep apnea because he thought it was uncomfortable, but after watching dramatic video of himself struggling to breathe at night without the CPAP mask, Brugger changed his mind. The video was part of a pilot study by sleep and respiratory experts at National Jewish Health in Denver.
