After the deterioration of the health of the artist, Rajaa Al-Jeddawi, as a result of complications from her infection with the Corona virus, and transferred to the intensive care room and placed on a device CPAPThis device is used in the treatment of cases of sleep apnea and works by applying oxygen pressure and pushing it inside the lung to increase the rate of oxygen in the blood and improve breathing disorders, said Dr. Khaled Abdel-Bari, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery, former president of Zagazig University.
Dr. Khaled Abdel-Bari said in statements to “The Seventh Day” that this device is used to place a mask on the face and does not enter the trachea, through which pressure of oxygen is pushed inside the lung, and then it works to increase the percentage of oxygen in the blood of people who suffer from a decrease in its percentage in the blood.
According to the site mayoclinic The treatment of continuous positive air pressure in the airway (CPAP) A common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, the continuous positive pressure device in the airway uses a hose, mask or piece intended for the nose to deliver constant and constant air pressure, and common problems with the continuous positive pressure device in the airway include mask leakage, difficulties sleeping, and stuffy nose , Dry mouth.
Using a CPAP device
Positive airway pressure is a method of respiratory ventilation used to treat sleep apnea. It is also used in the treatment of inflammation of the lower respiratory tract and those with acute diseases such as respiratory failure, and also to prevent and treat patients who have difficulty breathing deeply
The main use of the positive airway pressure device is congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and there is some evidence of its benefit for people with hypoxia and acquired pneumonia.
device components
– A flow generator that provides air flow.
– Hose connecting the flow generator to the mask.
Mask for nose or full face mask, and nasal pillows.
What is the mechanism of the auxiliary respiratory system in cases of stopping breathing and snoring?
The problem for people with snoring and respiratory arrest is that the upper airway narrows and recedes completely during sleep in whole or in part, which leads to respiratory failure, or ineffective breathing, which leads to sleep breaks and causes other symptoms of respiratory arrest, positive air pressure works. As a brace it prevents airway obstruction and keeps it open during sleep.
