MEDICAL TREATMENT
(roll over item below to view descrition on right)
Auto Adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device(Auto-PAP) - A type of CPAP machine monitoring changes in breathing and compensates automatically by making appropriate adjustments in pressure.
Titration - progressive, stepwise increase in treatment to establish the optimal treatment pressure or airway opening.
CPAP Pressure - pressure needed to maintain an open airway in a sleep apnea patient treated with CPAP, expressed in centimeters of water (cm H2O). The positive pressure can range from 5 - 20 cm H2O. Different patients require different pressures. The value is determined in a CPAP titration study.
CPAP - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; the device used to treat sleep apnea by sending positive airway pressure at a constant, continuous pressure to help keep an open airway, allowing the patient to breathe normally through his/her nose and airway.
Bi-Level - Bi-level pressure device used to treat sleep apnea. The “bi” refers to two pressures: a lower pressure for exhalation and a higher pressure for inhalation. Bi-Level machines are more expensive than a standard CPAP, but some patients tolerate it better because they can exhale comfortably against the constant inhalation pressure. (Sometimes called Bi-PAP, but that is a trademark name of one system).
Body Position - four positions are identified which a patient may be sleeping: back, left side, right side or abdomen. The time spent sleeping in each position and the number of respiratory events in a particular position is tabulated.
