Cut off the “black hand” of snoring that kills” The previous series of scientific reports have helped the public gradually understand snoring, snoring and its hazards. There are physiological and pathological snoring, therefore, which snorers need early treatment becomes a concern for patients and their families. Snoring is produced by the airflow through the narrow part of the throat during sleep, which causes the mucous membrane to vibrate. Usually, the louder the snoring, the more serious the obstruction in the narrow part of the throat. The sound of physiological snoring is lighter, generally below 60 decibels, and will not affect the sleep of others in the same room. In contrast, pathological snoring is louder, even to the extent of “snoring like thunder”. These people often have severe hypoxemia during sleep and have a much higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Although it is relatively simple to judge the nature of snoring by the size of snoring, it cannot be used as a basis for clinical diagnosis. From the pathological point of view, snoring is pathological as long as it causes hypoxia and various pathological changes caused by hypoxia. A large number of clinical studies have shown that pathological snoring is often accompanied by sleep apnea and hypoventilation at night, which is medically known as “sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome”, or “snoring” for short, and needs to be treated. A considerable number of patients who are diagnosed with snoring can correct the problems of deviated nasal septum, narrow oropharynx, collapsed soft palate, fatty accumulation in pharyngeal cavity, enlarged tonsils, enlarged adenoids and nasal polyps through local minimally invasive surgery and lumpectomy technology to effectively improve the smoothness of airway and avoid further development of pathological snoring. If the patient’s condition is not so serious that surgery is necessary to solve the problem, or if the patient’s physical condition is not suitable for surgery, a non-invasive portable ventilator can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Snoring is predominant in middle-aged and elderly people, but it is also not uncommon in children. Most snoring in children is pathological. Parents should not take it lightly once they find that their children snore. Pathological snoring is more dangerous to health because of the long-term lack of oxygen during sleep, especially the impact on the cardiovascular system is more obvious, and affects the growth and development of children.
