Snoring refers to snoring, which can be simple snoring or obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome. A ventilator is useful as one of the treatments for snoring, especially for obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome.
Snoring is an oscillating sound made during sleep when airflow through the oropharyngeal cavity hits the soft palate causing it to vibrate. It can be simple snoring or symptoms related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome, mainly sleep snoring, apnea, daytime sleepiness, dry mouth in the morning, foreign body sensation in the throat, headache after waking up in the morning, and elevated blood pressure.
Ventilator is non-invasive positive airway pressure ventilation therapy, including continuous positive pressure ventilation therapy and bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation. The principle is to keep the patient’s upper airway open through mechanical ventilation at a certain pressure to ensure smooth breathing during sleep.
When the patient falls asleep and is in the state of autonomous breathing, the mask is put on and the ventilator is turned on, then the latter sends out the set positive pressure airflow, which enters the pharynx through the nasal cavity to expand the collapsed pharyngeal cavity and prevent the occurrence of airway trapping closure, so that the resistance of airway decreases, which can alleviate or lift the symptoms of snoring and obstruction of the airway.
When suffering from snoring, you can actively seek medical treatment, after systematic examination and clear diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
