What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea is manifested by episodes of oxygen deficiency and sleep interruption due to the loss of function of the airways for a few seconds during sleep. At this loss of function, the oxygen level in the blood drops and triggers the brain to wake up.
What is a Sleep Apnea Mask?
The mask, also called CPAP mask, used in the treatment of sleep apnea, is a type of mask designed for patients to have a quality and comfortable sleep. This face mask, which is worn before sleep, aims to prevent respiratory arrest and ensure a comfortable sleep for the patient.
The mask, which shows its effect from the moment it is used, highly eliminates respiratory diseases such as sleep apnea and snoring.
Types of Sleep Apnea Masks
The sleep apnea device consists of three main parts. These are air pump, tubing and mask. One of the most important parts, 6 different designs and a wide selection of CPAP mask types are as follows:
- Nasal Mask: It is a type of mask used for air pressure to enter directly through the nose.
- Minimum Contact Nose Mask or Nose Padded Mask: This type of mask is one of the most striking varieties of recent times. It is important because it is smaller, lighter and quieter. It is the smallest type of mask among the mask types. It covers the base of the nose and has a gel pad. It is a mask that fits around the nostrils.
- Full Face Mask: This is the type of mask that covers the entire mouth and nose when the size of sleep apnea increases. It is the right choice for patients with nasal congestion. While the full-face mask helps to improve sleep quality, it provides a fast and effective solution for reducing daytime sleep and eliminating snoring.
Importance of CPAP Device Mask Selection
In order to improve sleep quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate CPAP mask. It is important that you choose this mask with the recommendation of your doctor after the doctor’s control. Personal needs are at the forefront in the selection of masks.
It is of great importance that the right device selected is used with the right mask and pressure setting. Care should be taken to ensure that there is no air outlet with the selection of multi-use silicone masks and a mask suitable for the face shape.
