{"id":7592,"count":0,"description":"Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes interruptions in breathing during sleep. The most common type is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which occurs when the upper airway narrows or becomes blocked during rest, hindering or temporarily stopping the flow of air. These episodes are referred to as \"apneas\" when the interruption of airflow is complete, and \"hypopneas\" when it is partial.\n\nThe primary treatment for OSA involves the application of positive airway pressure while the person sleeps. This can be delivered as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), automatically adjusted continuous positive airway pressure (autoCPAP) based on detected needs, or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)\u2014which uses two different pressure levels: one for inhalation and another for exhalation.\n\nOther types of sleep apnea include Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) and mixed sleep apnea; for these, different treatment approaches are recommended, depending on the specific case and the clinical characteristics of the individual patient.\n\nPneumosfera offers equipment and accessories from various manufacturers for the treatment of sleep apnea (including CPAP and autoCPAP machines, masks, filters, and humidifiers), as well as personalized guidance throughout the course of therapy.","link":"https:\/\/www.pneumosfera.com\/en\/shop\/sleep-apnoea\/","name":"Sleep apnoea","slug":"sleep-apnoea","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneumosfera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/7592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneumosfera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneumosfera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneumosfera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=7592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
