He explains the different types of sleep apnea, including obstructive and central sleep apnea, and how they can coexist. Dr. McCarty emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach to understanding and treating sleep apnea, involving both healthcare providers and patients. He discusses the challenges in defining and diagnosing sleep apnea and the importance of deconstructing the condition to tailor treatment plans.
