Nasal Continuous Positive Airway
Pressure, CPAP is a device that could be helpful for patient
with moderate to severe sleep disorders. A CPAP unit blows air into your
nose using a small air compressor. A facemask or a set of nasal plugs is
used to deliver air through your nose. The pressure of the air is adjusted
to give adequate airflow to the nose to allow you to breathe vital oxygen
supply and air into your lungs. Once the airway is opened, your blood oxygen
level remains steady during sleep; sleep becomes more restful and satisfying
and you will feel less sleepy during the day. |
|
Because CPAP (Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure) is to be worn for the rest of a patients life the
compliance in use reduces drastically in 60% of patients according
to our survey.
