Sleep Apnoea Devices
Sleep apnea devices help manage sleep apnea by improving airflow during sleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines deliver a steady stream of air to keep airways open. Other devices include BiPAP machines, oral appliances, and positional therapy aids. These devices promote better breathing, reduce snoring, and enhance sleep quality.
How it works
Sleep apnea devices work by addressing airflow obstruction during sleep, which is characteristic of sleep apnea. Here’s how some common sleep apnea devices work:
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machines: These devices deliver a continuous stream of air through a mask worn over the nose or nose and mouth. The air pressure keeps the airway open, preventing apneas (breathing pauses) and snoring.
Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) Machines: Similar to CPAP machines, BiPAP machines deliver two levels of air pressure: higher pressure during inhalation and lower pressure during exhalation. This may be more comfortable for some users.
Oral Appliances: These are custom-made dental devices worn in the mouth during sleep. They work by repositioning the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) Machines: ASV machines continuously monitor breathing patterns and adjust air pressure levels to maintain regular breathing. They are often used for treating central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea syndrome.
Positional Therapy Aids: These devices are designed to prevent sleeping in positions that worsen sleep apnea. They may include special pillows, vests, or positional alarms that alert users when they are sleeping on their back (supine), which can exacerbate symptoms.
Overall, sleep apnea devices work by ensuring proper airflow and preventing airway collapse during sleep, thereby reducing apneas, improving oxygenation, and promoting better sleep quality.
