Nasal
continuous positive airway
pressure, CPAP is a device that could be helpful for
patient with moderate to severe sleep disorders. A CPAP unit blows air into
your nose using a small air compressor. A facemask or a set of nasal plugs is
used to deliver air through your nose. The pressure of the air is adjusted to
give adequate airflow to the nose to allow you to breathe vital oxygen supply
and air into your lungs. Once the airway is opened, your blood oxygen level
remains steady during sleep; sleep becomes more restful and satisfying and you
will feel less sleepy during the day.
Because CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is to be worn for the rest of a patient’s life the compliance in use reduces drastically in 60% of patients according to our survey.
CPAP is a device attached to a pump that forces air continuously into your body while you sleep. If you don’t use it, and you have severe apnea your life could be in jeopardy.
