CPAP
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a device used during sleep to assist in keeping the airway open from obstructions by using air pressure.
Why you might need a CPAP device
If you have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), your tongue or soft palate can relax while you sleep causing a narrowing of the airway, temporarily reducing or stopping breathing. These OSA events for some people can occur hundreds of times a night, every night and in most cases go unnoticed by the person experiencing them.
CPAP is the international Gold Standard treatment for sleep apnoea and by using it each night can alleviate sleep apnoea and have you waking up feeling refreshed and well rested.
