  1. SLEEP APNEA By Connor Gibbons

  2. What is Sleep Apnea? • The stopping or halt of breathing during sleep • Sleep depravation and oxygen depravation • Testing is called a polysomnography • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2H-deTALsY • There are three types: • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) • Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) • Mixed Sleep Apnea (MSA)

  3. Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Muscles that hold the airways open during the day relax and collapse on each other • Due to the airway becoming smaller, the relaxed muscles create snoring • Most common type of sleep apnea • Healed by CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

  4. Central Sleep Apnea • Brain forgets to tell the lungs to breathe • Breathing stops, airway open • Gasp for air to restart the breathing process • More likely in males • Congestive heart disorder or arterial fibrillation • Smoking • Also healed with CPAP • Five types • High altitude periodic breathing • Idiopathic central sleep apnea • Shea and Stokes respiration • Medical condition induced apnea • Drug or substance induced apnea

  5. Mixed Sleep Apnea • Combination of the other two types • Again, healed with CPAP • The brain alerts the body to wake up when noticing low oxygen, either from the airway being open or closed and ceasing to breathe

  6. Causes of sleep apnea • Overweight, fat tissue makes the wall of the windpipe thicker • Tongue or tonsils are large compared to your windpipe • Body structure, size of your head/neck may shrink your windpipe • As we age our brain’s ability to stiffen the muscles in our neck decreases

  7. Treatments of sleep apnea • CPAP • EPAP • Assorted pills/medications • TransOral Robotic Surgery • Creating a large opening in the throat, meant more for OSA

  8. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) • Splits the airways to prevent them from narrowing or closing • Comes with a humidifier to prevent dryness • Given to patients after testing positive during a polysomnography

  9. EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) • New treatment released by the FDA • Single –use, put one over each nostril before you go to sleep • Allows air freely into the nose but when it leaves it needs to pass through small holes • Creates pressure, keep airway open
