Overcoming snoring Sundries

snoring sound is annoying, but habitual snoring a danger that can not be underestimated. Melemasnya snoring caused by upper respiratory tract during sleep, to narrows. This narrowing increases the pressure in the respiratory area. As a result, the soft area will vibrate cause snoring.
Once upon a time, this narrowing causes obstruction in the airway, making breathing movements while still there, no air can pass. This stop breathing during sleep, also called sleep apnea. As a result of tightness, a safety mechanism the body will wake up to the patient awake brain for a moment to breathe in the air (without waking). But this has cut the sleep process. Imagine if it happens repeatedly throughout the night. As a result, the patient will not wake up refreshed and continue to feel sleepy during the day even though the duration of sleep is enough. This condition is known as hypersomnia.
InspectionTreatment of sleep apnea in the Sleep Disorder Clinic, beginning with a consultation to find out the possibilities of other sleep disorders. Examination in sleep medicine, a little different from medical science in general. Examined here is the body functions during sleep.
Patients will be required to stay overnight in a sleep laboratory to record brain function, breathing, heart and other body functions. The tools used in sleep labs called polysomnography (PSG). PSG itself of many kinds, but I will review at a later occasion. Although sounds scary, do not imagine the sleep laboratory as a hospital room with a variety of monitors and complicated equipment.
Laboratory sleep could be made as comfortable as possible. Hardly seemed any medical equipment except a small box spring bed beside the patient. That unit patients who will be associated with smaller sensors to the patient. There are several ways of handling treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. To determine the best treatment needed a proper diagnosis. This examination of the role of sleep.
Treatment of snoring and sleep apnea begins from the simplest form of side sleeping position, elevating cushion, reducing weight and avoiding alcohol or drug maker drowsiness. Mild sleep apnea (stopping breathing less than 15 times per hour) do not require special care, but can try dental appliances made especially by dentists trained experts.
Conditions stopping breathing less than 30 times per hour, including the category, it is advisable to use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or technology now developed a simple form of EPAP (expiratory Positive Airway Pressure). EPAP disposable form of plaster that can be attached to cover the nostrils.
From some initial research, EPAP can provide decent results, a decrease in the index stop breathing about 50 percent. Hopefully in the next few months is already available in Indonesia. Surgery on the upper respiratory tract can also be done. The recommended form of surgery UPPP (uvulo palato pharingeoplasty). This is an action to widen the airway by cutting area of ​​the palate. Surgery is usually only recommended after other treatments have been tried and did not succeed.
CPAPMeanwhile, the gold standard treatment of sleep apnea, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is to use CPAP. CPAP devices such as electric-powered unit that is connected via a hose and mask. The principle of this instrument is the blowing pressure to prop up the airway to keep it open.
This tool is very popular among people with sleep apnea due to ease of use and outstanding effect. After using the CPAP sleep apnea patients as reborn and can do a lot of things he did that were previously difficult due to sleepiness. Driving distance, conducting meetings, reading books, watching movies and more, without fear of falling asleep.
The original emotional life happier now. That was lazy, can now be diligent exercise. Its easy to fall asleep in class, to rediscover the spirit of learning. The study also proved that many of the health benefits of the new tool was discovered in 1981 by Prof. Colin Sullivan of Sydney University.
The use of CPAP to overcome sleep apnea proved to facilitate control of blood sugar, and lower risk of heart and blood vessel disease by 37 percent and the risk of stroke by 56%. CPAP alone there are several types. Fixed pressure that gives the same pressure all night, automatic pressure that can adjust the pressure to the needs and bi-level pressure that blows the two pressures. The selection of course based on the results of the examination CPAP sleep. Challenge the use of CPAP itself is the first impression that already "scary."
CPAP is actually very common in other countries, as bedding course. Do not imagine that healthy people use, will not be able to sleep. But for people with sleep apnea, CPAP usage is very comfortable and pleasant. CPAP Provision should also be given by experts. There are certain criteria that must be regularly adjusted to the condition of the patient. Sleep disorders clinic has its own protocol for CPAP delivery program. Usually the patient and family are given education on how to use and care of tools. Then, after some time of use is evaluated through memory contained on the CPAP device was.
Overcome snoring is not as easy as imagined so far. Treatment on sleep disorder clinic always aim to overcome breathing disorders during sleep, for the health and quality of life. While the loss of snoring is just a bonus of the treatment results. Greetings healthy sleep!
