Cycle of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

A continuous positive airway pressure, (CPAP), machine was originally used primarily by patients for treatment of sleep apnea, but is now being used in intensive care units to help with the ventilation of patients. Sleep apnea happens when the upper torso gets narrow and the muscles naturally relax during sleep. This reduces oxygen in the blood and causes the person to wake up. The CPAP machine helps with this by sending a stream of air through a tube into the nasal cavity opening the airway so that breathing becomes easier, lowering the risk for sleep apnea to occur. One thing to remember is that it is the air pressure that prevents the apneas not the movement of the air.

CPAP treatment can be highly effective in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. For some patients, the improvement in the quality of sleep and quality of life due to CPAP treatment will be noticed after a single night’s use. Many times, the patient’s sleep partner also benefits from the machine and increases sleep quality. Here are a few of the different CPAP machines that can be found at www.ActiveForever.com:
