treatment of sleep disorders after CABG surgery ?

I have a patient with mild obstructive sleep apnea, who had Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery recently after a Myocadial Infarction, and now he is recovering well 5 days post-op but his sleep apnea has worsened and he can’t get any sleep ever since the surgery.
do you have any suggestion or any management options to offer?
thanks a lot !
