Types of Sleep Apnoea

There are three types of sleep apnoea: obstructive, central, and mixed:

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) The most common type of sleep apnoea. It occurs when your upper airway closes but your efforts to breathe continue. The primary causes of upper airway obstruction are lack of muscle tone during sleep, excess tissue in the upper airway, & anatomical abnormalities in the upper airway & jaw.

Central Sleep Apnoea (CSA) Only affects 5-10% of the sleep apnoea population. It occurs when your breathing stops but your airway is open. This cessation of breathing results from the body’s failure to breathe automatically. It’s as if a short circuit prevented the brain from keeping the respiratory system functioning properly.

Mixed Apnoea A mixture of both OSA and CSA.

Sleep Apnoea Treatment

The most effective and widely accepted treatment for sleep apnoea is positive airway pressure therapy.

It does not involve drugs or surgery. A bedside device gently delivers pressurised air via a mask to keep your upper airway open.

Treatment options:

• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) provides one constant air pressure all through the night
• Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) therapy automatically varies the pressure all through the night and from night to night. It actively responds to the continuous changes in your upper airway
• Bi-level therapy provides a higher pressure when you breathe in, & a lower pressure when you breathe out.
