Description
One of the most common treatments for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP machines force air through a mask into your airway, which keeps your airway open while you are asleep.
This can decrease breathing interruptions, enhance sleep quality, and aid in minimizing daytime drowsiness brought on by inadequate sleep. The parts of a CPAP system include the machine, air tubing, mask, and power supply. The selection of an appropriate mask and making sure it fits well are critical to successful therapy. Advanced CPAP machines can also have automatic pressure settings, humidification, data logging, and ramp settings.
If diagnosed with sleep apnoea use CPAP as advised by healthcare professional. The mask, tubing and filters should also be cleaned regularly to ensure hygiene and equipment maintenance. If used regularly and under the supervision of a health care professional, CPAP treatment can be a successful part of a healthy sleep schedule.
