Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can occur in adults, infants, and children.  It is defined as a medical condition that usually occurs when a person stops breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping.  There are three main types of apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed; obstructive is the most common.  Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by a blockage in the airway, usually resulting from when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and then closes while the patient is asleep.  (For great pictures of what the disease looks like visit the web site http://www.cpapman.com/disorder.htm)
 Sleep apnea can be classified according to the number of times per hour a person stops breathing (apnea).  Sleep apnea episodes occur from 5 to 50 times an hour. During these episodes,
