    [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 recommendations of their physician. [1] In addition, a meta-analysis showed that CPAP therapy may reduce erectile dysfunction symptoms in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea. [3]

  3. Bubble CPAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_CPAP

    Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation strategy for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration.

  4. Positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

    Positive airway pressure (PAP) is a mode of respiratory ventilation used in the treatment of sleep apnea.PAP ventilation is also commonly used for those who are critically ill in hospital with respiratory failure, in newborn infants (), and for the prevention and treatment of atelectasis in patients with difficulty taking deep breaths.

    [2] [3] Patients either view online patient education programs and materials in a medical office or from their homes or other remote locations with Internet access.

Spontaneous breathing is defined as the movement of gas in and out of the lungs that is produced in response to an individual's respiratory muscles.

  7. Spirometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    The patient is asked to put on soft nose clips to prevent air escape and a breathing sensor in their mouth forming an air tight seal. Guided by a technician, the patient is given step by step instructions to take an abrupt maximum effort inhale, followed by a maximum effort exhale lasting for a target of at least 6 seconds.

  8. Sleep apnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

    These devices can be fabricated by a general dentist. Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is usually successful in patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. [102] [103] While CPAP is more effective for sleep apnea than oral appliances, oral appliances do improve sleepiness and quality of life and are often better tolerated than CPAP. [103]

  9. Obstructive sleep apnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_sleep_apnea

    The patient's blood-oxygen saturation gradually falls until cessation of sleep noises, signifying total airway obstruction of airflow, which may last for several minutes. Eventually, the patient must at least partially awaken from deep sleep into light sleep, automatically regaining general muscle tone.
