CPAP

Obstructive sleep apnea patients with CPAP intolerance may benefit from hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device is commonly used to treat sleep apnea. A facial mask worn throughout the night, it produced continuous airflow to make sure the person doesn’t stop breathing. Some individuals, however, may be intolerant to CPAP device ...click here to read more

Sleep apnea positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment in heart failure patients reduced hospital readmission and emergency room visits.

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) use in obstructive sleep apnea reduces atrial fibrillation recurrence. It has been observed that in patients with heart failure, high blood pressure and stroke, there is a high prevalence of sleep apnea – a sleep disorder where a person stops breathing for brief moments throughout the night. Although an evident ...click here to read more

Treating sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advancement devices (MADs) can help lower high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a common side effect of sleep apnea – a sleep disorder that causes the individual to stop breathing numerous times a night. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis study comparing the link between ...click here to read more
