How CPAP Machines Help Treat Sleep Apnea
A CPAP machine treats sleep apnea by delivering air pressure through a mask to lift the airway tissues so that they do not collapse and cause obstruction when you’re breathing at night. The amount of air pressure needed will vary from person to person and can be determined in a sleep lab or with the help of home testing kits. Some CPAP machines can also perform auto-titration, according to the American Sleep Association.
CPAP machines are often favored over other interventions for sleep apnea because they are non-invasive, highly effective, and provide immediate results. Here are some of the potential benefits of CPAP therapy, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine:
- Increased energy, alertness, and concentration
- Heart disease prevention
- Stroke prevention
- Diabetes prevention
- Improved emotional health
