The Hunt For CPAP Alternatives – Better Therapies For Sleep Apnea?
Said to affect some 18 million Americans, sleep apnea is a common, and sometimes dangerous sleep disorder. CPAP (constant positive airway pressure) treatment is one system that has long been used to relieve the symptoms of this condition. By administering a constant, slightly pressurised airflow to the sleep apnea sufferers airway, the symptoms of sleep apnea can be alleviated to some extend. The CPAP machine uses a small air compressor to achieve this aim.
