Obstructive sleep apnea

Millions of Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the involuntary cessation of airflow for 10 seconds or longer when you are sleeping. If you think you have sleep-disordered breathing, you should go to doctor as soon as possible. If the study shows that you have sleep apnea, you may be asked to try out a CPAP machine that very same night to see if it works for you. CPAP machine has revolutionized the field of sleep-disordered breathing and is the most effective treatment available for sleep apnea.

CPAP machine blows air through the nose and into the throat, providing a pneumatic splint that helps hold the pharynx open and prevents upper airway collapse. CPAP mask may cover the nose and mouth or just the nose.

When you need a CPAP machine, you should shop around to find the right CPAP machine. The features of that CPAP machine and the homecare service you receive will become important for you.
