Strangler”

2. Apnea
A Greek word for absence of breath
At this breathless moment, no air enters
the lungs for 40,50,60 seconds or
longer. The muscles of the diaphragm
struggle against the blocked
throat, oxygen levels fall, and carbon
dioxide build up. After this time the
brain is panicking, suffocating, and
screaming for oxygen

3. What is OSA
It is a sleep disorder called
Obstructive Sleep Apnea

4. Treating Sleep Apnea

5. Ways to treat OSA
Doctors can treat severe apnea by
enlarging the air passage or holding
the air passage open mechanically
during sleep.
With surgery or CPAP which is
Continuous Positive Airway
Pressure

6. Patients start to feel alert and have
more energy
Literally when in minutes of achieving
the correct CPAP pressure to maintain
an open airway, patients with OSA start
sleeping like people who have gone
without sleep for many days.
