APNEA Il corso di apnea vuole essere un passo successivo allo “snorkeling”, di cui rappresenta la naturale evoluzione. Oltre a riprendere ed approfondire le tecniche di base dello snorkeling, introduce nuovi argomenti come le tecniche di respirazione e le tecniche di rilassamento e consapevolezza corporea. Queste conoscenze, fondamentali per migliorare le proprie prestazioni in materia di apnea, possono essere di grande aiuto nella pratica dell’ARA così come nella vita di tutti i giorni. L’apnea si addice in modo particolare a chi si vuole addentrare nell’aspetto più “mentale” dell’immersione ed al tempo stesso consente di migliorare il proprio allenamento e la forma fisica. Il corso di apnea è l’ideale per la pratica in piscina, in quanto rappresenta una valida alternativa all’immersione con ARA durante i mesi invernali e consente inoltre di migliorare la propria acquaticità e la confidenza con l’elemento liquido.

Bradycardia is a slowing of the heart rate, usually to less than 80 beats per minute for a premature baby. Bradycardia often follows apnea or periods of very shallow breathing. Sometimes it is due to a reflex, especially with the placing of a feeding tube or when the baby is trying to have a stool. Is all apnea due to prematurity? No, apnea of prematurity is by far the most common cause of apnea in a premature infant. However, apnea can be caused or increased by many problems including infection, low blood sugar, patent ductus arteriosus, seizures, high or low body temperature, brain injury or insufficient oxygen. Why do premature babies have apnea? Premature babies have immature respiratory centers in the brain. Preemies normally have bursts of big breaths followed by periods of shallow breathing or pauses. Apnea is most common when the baby is sleeping. Will apnea of prematurity go away?

It’s often a symptom of progressive sleep apnea syndrome, a disorder that not only stymies the snorer’s slumber but also can have serious effects on blood pressure, risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and even mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common disorder diagnosed through sleep studies, is a condition that not only interrupts a good night’s rest but can have significant effects on blood pressure, risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and even mortality. B. Tucker Woodson, MD , treats many snorers who suffer from sleep apnea. A Medical College of Wisconsin Associate Professor of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences and Director of the Froedtert Center for Sleep, Dr. Woodson discussed sleep apnea and its consequences in a recent interview with HealthLink. “By far and away the most common sleep disorder that we see here (at the MCW sleep laboratory) is obstructive sleep apnea. It probably represents 80% or more of the sleep disorders that present to the physician for a sleep study,” Dr. Woodson said.

28. Sleep Apnea Masks Details about the product and contact information. http://www.sleepapneamasks.com.au/

Collin Anderson , an Australian Consulting Engineer and sleep apnea sufferer, believed in order to have a restful night’s sleep a mask would have to be custom made to the person’s face. After 7 years of research, development and testing, we believe we have produced the world’s best mask because of our patented design features. These features address all the problems such as leakage, pressure sores (caused by excessive strap pressure), noise, and visibility, cleaning problems, sore ear lobes, moisture and Co2 build up etc.etc. A Sleep Apnea Mask custom made to your exact facial shape. The Anderson Mask is the only one of its type available anywhere in the world. Click here for more information... As a comparison, conventional masks have a huge sealing area of approximately 4 square inches. This requires a heavy strap pressure and so the larger the sealing area the more strap pressure required. Your new Personally Moulded Sleep Apnea Mask is only 1/8 of the sealing area of a conventional mask therefore, a lot less strap pressure and a lot more comfort.

Phantom Sleep Newsletter TM from Sleepwell by Gila Lindsley, Ph.D., A.C.P. What is wrong with this picture? Thanksgiving dinner, or perhaps it is Christmas dinner, or Passover. Uncle Charlie (or perhaps it is Aunt Charlene) has fallen asleep, as usual, on the overstuffed chair in the living room. and everyone chuckles fondly to see him (or her) snug in front of the fire, his(her) arms resting gently on his (her) belly. Snoring up a storm. Familiar picture? Probably. Endearing, sweet Norman Rockwell scene? No. The association of this picture to a potentially life threatening disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea has been known for about a decade. It is only over the past several years, however, that there has been enough media coverage for the disorder called sleep apnea to have reached public awareness. By this time, the message that loud snoring can be serious not humorous has been sent into the living room by network television shows such as 20/20, 60 Minutes, the Phil Donahue Show, and even the half-time show of the Super Bowl where the players wore band-aid like devices (designed to help control snoring) on their nose to help their breathing. The full picture of what to do when sleep apnea (or an incipient sleep apnea condition such as loud snoring) is diagnosed has been less well publicized.

Information from Your Family Doctor Sleep Apnea What is sleep apnea? People with sleep apnea stop breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping. These short stops in breathing can happen up to 400 times every night! If you have sleep apnea, the periods of not breathing may make you wake up from deep sleep. If you are waking up all night long, you aren't getting enough rest from your sleep. There are two kinds of sleep apnea: obstructive apnea and central apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type. Nine out of 10 people with sleep apnea have this type of apnea. If you have this type, something is blocking the passage or windpipe (called the trachea) that brings air into your body. You keep trying to breathe, but you can't get enough air because of the blockage. Your windpipe might be blocked by your tongue, tonsils or uvula (the little piece of flesh that hangs down in the back of your throat). It might also be blocked by a large amount of fatty tissue in the throat or even by relaxed throat muscles. Central sleep apnea is rare. This type is called central apnea because it is related to the function of the central nervous system. If you have this type of apnea, the muscles you use to breathe don't get the "go-ahead" signal from your brain. Either the brain doesn't send the signal, or the signal gets interrupted.
