2. Diaphragm pacing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_pacing

   Diaphragm pacing (and even earlier as electrophrenic respiration [1] [2]) is the rhythmic application of electrical impulses to the diaphragm to provide artificial ventilatory support for respiratory failure or sleep apnea.

3. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

   The condition, also called treatment-emergent central apnea, is generally detected when obstructive sleep apnea is treated with CPAP and central sleep apnea emerges. [18] The exact mechanism of the loss of central respiratory drive during sleep in OSA is unknown but is most likely related to incorrect settings of the CPAP treatment and other ...

   A little over 50% of all people with Down syndrome experience obstructive sleep apnea, [59] and some physicians advocate routine testing of this group. [60] In other craniofacial syndromes, the abnormal feature may actually improve the airway, but its correction may put the person at risk for obstructive sleep apnea after surgery when it is ...

5. Central hypoventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_hypoventilation...

   Central hypoventilation syndrome (CHS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that causes ineffective breathing, apnea, or respiratory arrest during sleep (and during wakefulness in severe cases). CHS can either be congenital (CCHS) or acquired (ACHS) later in life.

6. Respironics - Wikipedia

   McGinnis developed the "Nasal CPAP Mask System," a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine for the treatment of sleep apnea, [3] based on the original 1981 design by Dr. Colin Sullivan. [4] After receiving FDA approval in 1984, Respironics began selling the first commercially available CPAP machine a year later. [5]

7. Isolation tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_tank

   Pod and cabin designs utilize enclosures with doors to enter or exit the tank, whereas pool designs are built from circular fiberglass and lack an enclosure to reduce the risk of claustrophobia. The pool design is housed in a room that is soundproof and lightproof, with tightly controlled ambient air temperature and humidity.
