Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths caused by increased work of breathing during sleep. These interruptions can lead to fragmented sleep, fatigue, daytime drowsiness, and oxidative stress from low oxygen levels which can cause other health complications such as heart trouble, hypertension, diabetes, brain abnormalities if left untreated. Effective management of sleep apnea is crucial for improving overall well-being.

At Bogan Sleep Consultants, we work with patients on a multitude of treatment options along with the newest treatment options available, including potential clinical trials for new therapies.

Treatment options include:

• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy: A common treatment involving a machine that delivers constant airway pressure through a mask to keep the airways open during sleep.
• Oral Appliances: Dental devices worn during sleep that help maintain an open upper airway.
• Hypoglossal nerve stimulation: Stimulation of nerves in the throat to prevent collapse of the airway muscles.
• Lifestyle Changes: Weight management, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and establishing good sleep hygiene practices.
• Surgery: In some cases, surgical procedures may be recommended to address anatomical issues contributing to sleep apnea.

The team at Bogan Sleep is also proud to offer remote patient monitoring to help solve problems related to sleep apnea. Remote patient monitoring is a valuable tool in managing sleep apnea, allowing healthcare providers to track progress, adjust treatments, and provide ongoing support to patients from a distance. It plays a significant role in ensuring optimal care and improved outcomes for individuals with sleep apnea.
