Description
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the muscles and tissues of the throat and airways relax while we sleep, blocking the flow of air to the lungs. This may occur many times during the night, especially in the REM stages of sleep. In these events we may stop breathing for at least 10 seconds and the oxygen saturation of the blood can drop by 3% to 4%. If someone experiences 5 or more such events per hour of sleep, then they can be diagnosed with Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
The body reacts to the lack of oxygen by stimulating and/or waking up from sleep. As a result, we do not have the required amount and quality of sleep and feel constantly tired, moody and lacking in concentration.
Sleep apnea, if left untreated, can cause serious health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and even heart attack or stroke.Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is the most common and most effective treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The device provides air to the patient at a predetermined pressure through a tube and a mask. This keeps the airways open and there are no breathing breaks. This eliminates apnea and allows the patient to sleep properly and comfortably.
Automatic Positive Airway Pressure provides different pressure values in a predefined range. In this way, the device provides the minimum air pressure to overcome each episode.
Air pressure is determined during the study of sleep and your doctor.Our company has a wide range of Cpap and Bipap machines of the largest companies in the market.For the purchase of apnea devices, EOPYY covers a large part of the cost.Ask us for more information.
