CPAP Treatment
CPAP therapy is the most effective noninvasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. The CPAP Pro systems consist of several CPAP accessories: CPAP Pro machines (flow generators), air tubing and a CPAP headgear (usually a nasal mask). The CPAP Pro machine pushes air through the tubing and nasal mask.
The air passes through your nose and into the throat, where the slight pressure keeps the upper airway open. The low air pressure does not interfere with breathing though some patients need a few nights to get used to the sensation of positive airflow. Many clinicians describe the CPAP PRO therapy as a pneumatic splint, literally meaning an air splint to hold an open throat.
The pneumatically splinted upper airway process is performed when the tongue and soft tissue have fallen to the back of the throat, but the pressure of the air pumped in by the CPAP Pro machine holds the upper airway open.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is a sleep disorder which characterized by obstruction of upper airways. Obstructive sleep apnea usually associated with a reduction in blood oxygen saturation. In this situation the airway becomes obstructed at several possible sites.
The upper airway can be obstructed by excess tissue in the airway, large tonsils and large tongue. It also includes the airway muscles relaxing and collapsing during sleep. Another site of obstruction can be the nasal passages.
