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 management of obstructive sleep apnea was improved with the introduction of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), first described in 1981 by Colin Sullivan and associates in Sydney, Australia. [121] The first models were bulky and noisy, but the design was rapidly improved and by the late 1980s, CPAP was widely adopted.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet.Air, usually with added oxygen, is given through the mask under positive pressure; generally the amount of pressure is alternated depending on whether someone is breathing in or out.
