How does CPAP Therapy Work?
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treats OSA by providing a gentle flow of positive-pressure air through a facial mask to keep the airway open during sleep. As a result:
- Breathing becomes regular during sleep
- Snoring stops
- Restful sleep is restored
- Quality of life is improved
Risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and motor vehicle and work accidents is reduced
