A CPAP machine is a machine that delivers continuous positive airway pressure to the airways of a sleeping sufferer. It is used in order to prevent apnea, a form of sleep deprivation. The ear contains two structures which monitor the air pressure in your throat and nose. In this article, we will cover information on how these small structures work; how they are affected by the CPAP machine; and what can be done if they are not operating correctly.
You may also use it for snoring treatment or long-term breathing problems due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease such as emphysema or asthma. The best cpap machines is a large cylindrical unit, with a tube that is inserted into your mouth. Breathe normally through your nose and the air will be delivered through the tube to both your nose and throat. The pressure in the machine will then collect in both your nose and throat, increasing the volume of air flowing into your lungs as you sleep.
The most common sleep-related breathing disorder is sleep apnea. If a person has this condition, they may stop breathing while they are sleeping at least five times an hour or more. This can lead to oxygen deprivation and lower blood oxygen levels. This can be very dangerous for the sufferer, as well as those near them since their sleep may be severely interrupted by the lack of breathing. A CPAP machine is one of the treatments for this disorder, which involves delivering air through a tube directly into your throat in order to keep you continuously breathing during your sleep. Thus, this machine serves as a ventilator by providing steady airflow to your face and nose so that you may breathe normally throughout the night; and thus preventing apnea.
