CPAP: A GOLD STANDARD TREATMENT FOR MANAGING SLEEP APNEA IN INDIA

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is considered the gold standard treatment for managing sleep apnea. It involves wearing a mask connected to a machine that delivers a continuous flow of pressurised air, keeping the airway open during sleep.CPAP effectively prevents episodes of breathing pauses and improves oxygenation, reducing symptoms such as snoring, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue. It has been shown to enhance sleep quality, restore cognitive function, and reduce the risk of associated health complications. Adherence to CPAP therapy is crucial for optimal outcomes in sleep apnea management.
