It takes its name from the Greek word apnea, which means "without breath." People with sleep apnea literally stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, often for a minute or longer and as many as hundreds of times during a single night. Sleep apnea can be caused by either complete obstruction of the airway (obstructive apnea) or partial obstruction (obstructive hypopnea hypopnea is slow, shallow breathing), both of which can wake one up. There are three types of sleep apnea — obstructive, central, and mixed. Of these, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common. OSA occurs in approximately 2 percent of women and 4 percent of men over the age of 35. Causes The exact cause of OSA remains unclear. The site of obstruction in most patients is the soft palate, extending to the region at the base of the tongue. There are no rigid structures, such as cartilage or bone, in this area to hold the airway open. During the day, muscles in the region keep the passage wide open. But as a person with OSA falls asleep, these muscles relax to a point where the airway collapses and becomes obstructed. When the airway closes, breathing stops, and the sleeper awakens to open the airway. The arousal from sleep usually lasts only a few seconds, but brief arousals disrupt continuous sleep and prevent the person from reaching the deep stages of slumber, such as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which the body needs in order to rest and replenish its strength. Once normal breathing is restored, the person falls asleep only to repeat the cycle throughout the night.

71. Laser Surgery For Snoring And Sleep Apnea Laser Surgery for Snoring and Sleep apnea. One Step Laser Surgery for Snoring. About onethird of all our procedures have been done on sleep apnea patients. http://www.islandnet.com/~sreid/lauphtml/LaserArticle.html

Laser Surgery for Snoring and Sleep Apnea One Step Laser Surgery for Snoring By: Otolaryngology Associates Dr. R. I. Dickson and Dr. D. R. Mintz Snoring, a problem which afflicts millions of people and their partners, occurs when there is obstruction of the free flow of air through the passages of the back of the mouth and nose. This is most often caused by excessive tissue in the uvula and soft palate. Since snoring can be a sign of a more serious condition such as sleep apnea, patients should be fully evaluated by a qualified physician prior to any treatment. Until now the only surgical alternative to Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) was the more extensive and painful procedure (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty - UPPP) performed under general anaesthetic in the operating room. The hospital stay could be one to three days, with a recuperative period of at least one or two weeks. Some patients have been reluctant to undergo UPPP solely to treat snoring because it involves significant pain and it is their partner and not them who suffers. Standard LAUP treatment done in most centers requires three to five treatments to slowly shrink the floppy palate. No tissue specimen is actually removed; the palate is slowly scarred and tightened. Our one step method involves removal of the same amount of tissue as with standard UPPP. The amount of the palate left for normal function is determined by a palatal dimple easily seen in every patient. This dimple corresponds to the lower level of the palatal muscle elevators which are needed for complete closure on swallowing. Preserving these muscles prevents nasal speech or liquid back flow. Our procedure is done in one session in over 95% of cases. We can remove more tissue with no increased pain because we also use a cold laser (not available in the US) and inject cortisone with local anaesthetic.

These muscles usually relax during sleep, but the passage remains open enough to permit the flow of air. Some individuals have a narrower passage, and during sleep, relaxation of these muscles causes the passage to close, and air cannot get into the lungs. Loud snoring and labored breathing occur. When complete blockage of the airway occurs, air cannot reach the lungs.

I am a qualified Buteyko Therapist I also hold qualifications in Stress Management, counselling and Reiki. The Brisbane Medical Trials of 1996 compared two study groups. The group treated with Buteyko reported an astonishing 92% reduction in the use of Bronchodilators (Ventolins)! This compared to the other group who were treated with conventional treatment which showed no improvement. I was hooked! As quickly as possible I did the Butyeyko Course, passed my exam and completed the necessary case studies. In no time I was practising and found that by incorporating my Stress Consultancy experience I could in fact gain even better results.
