Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
Snoring
Problems
45% of normal adults snore at least
occasionally, and 25% are habitual snorers.
Problem
snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons and it
usually grows worse with age. Snoring sounds are caused when
there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the
passages at the back of the mouth and nose.
Only recently have the adverse medical effects of snoring and
its association with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Upper
Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) been recognized. Various
methods are used to alleviate snoring and/or OSA. They include
behavior modification, sleep positioning, Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure (CPAP), Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and
Laser Assisted Uvula Palatoplasty (LAUP), and jaw adjustment
techniques.
What Is
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)?
Nasal CPAP delivers air into your airway through a specially
designed nasal mask or pillows. The mask does not breathe for
you; the flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to
keep your airway open. CPAP is considered the most effective
nonsurgical treatment for the alleviation of snoring and
obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP products provide exceptional
results in Sleep Apnea Therapy.If your otolaryngologist determines that the CPAP treatment
is right for you, you will be required to wear the nasal mask
every night. During this treatment, you may have to undertake a
significant change in lifestyle. That change could consist of
losing weight, quitting smoking, or adopting a new exercise
regimen.Before the invention of the nasal CPAP, a recommended course
of action for a patient with sleep apnea or habitual snoring was
a tracheostomy, or creating a temporary opening in the windpipe.
The CPAP treatment has been found to be nearly 100 percent
effective in eliminating sleep apnea and snoring when used
correctly and will eliminate the necessity of a surgical
procedure. What is
Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea is a condition
in which breathing stops and starts during sleep. It is
usually associated with snoring.
The Sleep Apnea Syndrome (Sleep Apnea plus Daytime
Somnolence) is believed to affect 2% of adult
females and 4% of adult males. This makes Sleep Apnea
one of the
most common medical disorders that the adult population
suffers from.
What are
the symptoms of Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea symptoms are
obesity, feeling un-refreshed despite having enough
hours of sleep at night, waking up often during the
night time for no reason. Snorting or gasping for air,
at night. Heart failure. Memory problems and
concentration issues along with daytime sleepiness. Very often CPAP therapy can help prevent these problems from happening.
How can
CPAP treatment help?
Sleep Apnea Therapy products such as
CPAP treatment
are used with the majority patients who suffer from
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. With CPAP treatments, the
patient wears a snugly fit nasal mask connected to a
CPAP machine. The CPAP therapy allows the patient to breath
freely by blowing air into the nostrils to keep the
airway passages open during sleep. |
