Breathing devices include the use of a CPAP machine. [21] With proper use, CPAP improves outcomes. [22] Evidence suggests that CPAP may improve sensitivity to insulin, blood pressure, and sleepiness. [23] [24] [25] Long term compliance, however, is an issue with more than half of people not appropriately using the device.
CPAP in combination with drugs may also obtain unsatisfactory results. [10] [17] For other patients there is an excellent response to CPAP treatment (e.g., for young women patients with catathrenia over a 5-year period, [18] patient with OSA and pulmonary hypertension, [16] and others [10]).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and is characterized by recurrent episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway leading to reduced or absent breathing during sleep.
The conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia, whether caused by apnea or not, trigger additional effects on the body.The immediate effects of central sleep apnea on the body depend on how long the failure to breathe endures, how short is the interval between failures to breathe, and the presence or absence of independent conditions whose effects amplify those of an apneic episode.
CPAP is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, in which the mild pressure from the CPAP prevents the airway from collapsing or becoming blocked. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] CPAP has been shown to be 100% effective at eliminating obstructive sleep apneas in the majority of people who use the therapy according to the ...
