28 Dec How to get the most out of your AirSense 11 AutoSet?
Can sleep apnea kill you? Yes, sleep apnea can kill you. It is a condition suffered by between 4% and 20% of the world’s population. It is characterized by periods when you stop breathing during sleep. A patient can have mild symptoms, such as insomnia and snoring, to severe symptoms that can lead to death by asphyxiation. If you suffer from this condition, you should seek sleep apnea devices to improve your situation.
What is the best treatment for sleep apnea?
CPAP machine treatment is the sleep apnea therapy that offers the most excellent benefits with the lowest risks. This therapy consists of continuous positive airway pressure, which delivers air at a pressure high enough to prevent the airway from collapsing. The pressurized air is delivered through a mask sealed with your mouth or nose. This allows you to breathe without too much effort and sleep without waking up.
The pressure required depends on the individual patient. It is, therefore, advisable to consult your physician and your sleep apnea device provider. We have CPAP machines for sale in Toronto. If you want to know more about our devices and therapies, you can contact us.
