Sleep Apnea Devices help in Breathing without interruption of Blockage in Airflow

 

Sleep Apnea Devices

Sleep Apnea is a chronic respiratory sleep disorder characterised by pauses in breathing while sleeping. This is characterised by conditions such as shallow breathing or the occurrence of sleep breaks and pauses. Pauses can be as short as a few seconds or as long as several minutes. These disruptive events can occur several times throughout the night. People who snore loudly are predisposed to Sleep Apnea. The return of breathing after these pauses is usually accompanied by choking or snorting sounds. Most people go undiagnosed for Sleep Apnea because it happens at night and is difficult to detect during routine hospital visits.

Apnea is the squeezing of air that passes through the blockage while breathing, resulting in loud snoring. These obstructions are most common in overweight and obese people. Diabetes patients are more likely to suffer from Sleep Apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), central Sleep Apnea (CSA), and mixed Sleep Apnea (a combination of the two) are the three major types of Sleep Apnea. The most common type of Sleep Apnea is Obstructive Sleep Apnea, in which breathing is interrupted by a blockage of airflow.

Aside from obesity, other factors such as smoking, hereditary existence, menopause, the use of sedative medications, having a long neck, alcohol consumption, and poor sleeping habits all contribute to the prevalence of this disorder. Sleep Apnea is most common in the elderly population, where obesity rates are rising. According to Oventus Inc., OSA affects approximately 3% to 7% of adult men and 2% to 5% of adult females. Furthermore, 50% of the general population snores, indicating that this population is a potential buyer of Sleep Apnea Devices.

In 2014, approximately 100 million people worldwide were suspected of having OSA, though the vast majority of this population remained undiagnosed. Multiple treatment options are available for Sleep Apnea, including natural recovery through changes in daily habits and lifestyle, as well as the use of Sleep Apnea Devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices or wearable forms such as mandibular advancement devices (MAD), position pillows, dental devices, or tongue retaining devices. In severe cases, Sleep Apnea can also be treated surgically.
