Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is the cessation of breathing for periods longer than 10 seconds during sleep. The majority of patients with sleep apnea have not been diagnosed. During sleep, the muscles relax, causing the walls of the pharynx to recede and in some cases to block the passage of air to the lungs. With the loss of normal breathing, the oxygen in the blood decreases, as a result of which the brain is stimulated and it interrupts the deep sleep, in order to restore the muscle tone and to allow the breathing again.
DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT OF SLEEP APNEA
The first step in treating sleep apnea syndrome is to diagnose it.
The initial evaluation is done by the doctor using:
1
Questionnaire
The questionnaire contains questions related to both sleep behavior (snoring, sweating, frequent urination) and daytime behavior (drowsiness, memory loss, fatigue).
2
Special device
The detector can be easily placed before going to bed, while it does not burden the examinee since it is worn on the wrist with a fabric wristband.
With the right treatment we help patients who have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea to have proper and uninterrupted breathing during sleep.
