2. Obstructive sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_sleep_apnea

   Without treatment, the sleep deprivation and lack of oxygen caused by sleep apnea increases health risks such as cardiovascular disease, aortic disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm), [163] high blood pressure, [164] [165] stroke, [166] diabetes, clinical depression, [167] weight gain, obesity, [64] and even death.

3. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_positive_airway...

   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 ...

4. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

   For moderate to severe sleep apnea, the most common treatment is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) device. [67] [70] These splint the person's airway open during sleep by means of pressurized air. The person typically wears a plastic facial mask, which is connected by a flexible ...

6. Positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

   The titrated pressure is the pressure of air at which most (if not all) apneas and hypopneas have been prevented, and it is usually measured in centimetres of water (cm H 2 O). The pressure required by most patients with sleep apnea ranges between 6 and 14 cm H 2 O. A typical CPAP machine can deliver pressures between 4 and 20 cm H 2 O.

7. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_mechanical...

   Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive positive pressure mode of respiratory support. CPAP is a continuous pressure applied to keep the alveoli open and not fully deflate. This mechanism for maintaining inflated alveoli helps increase partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, an appropriate increase in CPAP increases ...
