Sleep Apneia

Posts Tagged ‘CPAP’

This video—presented by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health—shows how Jim, the father of two young girls, has coped with having sleep apnea. Symptoms such as waking up tired and falling asleep while driving long distances made Jim concerned about his health. While Jim was sleeping, his wife noticed snoring and long periods of silence followed by gasps. Wanting a better quality of life, Jim sought the advice of his doctor, who recommended a sleep study. As a result of the sleep study, Jim was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and prescribed treatment with a CPAP machine. CPAP provides mild air pressure to keep the airways open during sleep. Jim explains that adjusting to CPAP treatment was hard at first, and his inability to stick with the treatment led to more symptoms. However, after using the CPAP machine regularly, Jim feels better and has more energy to do activities with his children. Also view this video at www.nhlbi.nih.gov

Product Description
Core CPAP Pillows provide proper neck support, comfort and compliance for patients with sleep apnea.

The most common compliance issues reported by CPAP users are pressure point soreness and mask leaks from pillow interference.

This 4″ quilted side panel creates a distinct edge that will not collapse, allowing the mask to comfortably hang over the side of the pillow.

The Core CPAP Pillow is durable enough to support the head and neck without losing its loft, yet soft enough to sleep on all night.

This pillow also works well for oral or dental appliances, people with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain, or during pregnancy.
Sleep apnea refers to a temporary cessation of breath during sleep. Patients with sleep apnea often report chronic headaches, drowsiness, memory lapses, and dysfunction during daily activities.

Sleep apnea occurs when a patient’s airway becomes blocked during sleep by relaxed throat muscles, excess weight, enlarged tonsils, or a very small throat.

There is no known cure for sleep apnea, but it is highly treatable with CPAP.

Product Description
REMstar® Pro with C-FlexTM is the perfect combination of the advances that have made us the leader in sleep therapy. On the surface, it’s easy to trace this device’s lineage – it’s pure REMstar from its sleek design down to its integrated heated humidification unit. But therapy with C-Flex is a totally unique experience. The difference is the C-Flex waveform which offers a more comfortable way to deliver sleep therapy by taking the work out of exhalation.

To do this, C-Flex tracks – and reacts to – every breath throughout the night. This gives the device the ability to make breath-by-breath adjustments to ensure the optimal level of pressure relief during exhalation to deliver more comfortable therapy.

Other features include Encore® Pro SmartCard® compatibility, onboard FOSQ, automatic altitude compensation, auto on/off, leak tolerance that makes treatment easier, and flexibility and comfort for patients on the go.

The Encore Pro SmartCard and onboard FOSQ (Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire) help you track quality-of-life improvements, so you can better manage treatment outcomes – for healthier patients and a healthier business.

www.imdb.me www.facebook.com FB ME Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) This is a bit of what I go through. Here is more on the subject: Forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25 percent 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. 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 …
