Sleep apnea is a serious condition of which many people are aware, but one which most do not take seriously enough. While sleep apnea can be fatal, it usually is not; however, the snoring that goes along with it can be so annoying as to keep an innocent partner awake for hours. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be treated effectively with CPAP Perth. There are two different forms of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of sleep apnea, and occurs when the muscles in the throat relax and breathing stops for upwards of 20 seconds. As mentioned above, those who suffer from sleep apnoea perth can find treatment via Perth CPAP.
CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure, and it is made possible with a CPAP machine. CPAP Perth involves the utilization of a machine to which sleep apnea suffers are hooked up while they sleep. A CPAP Perth machine consists of three parts, the mask, the air hose, and the CPAP machine, itself. A CPAP machine heats air to body temperature and humidifies it, before sending it through the air hose, and into the face of the person who is wearing the mask. Since sufferers of sleep apnea are big time snorers, it is in the best interest of the partner of the sufferer to make a CPAP hire, as soon as possible. A CPAP Perth machine can be the difference between life and death, as well as finally getting a good nights sleep.
