Sleep Apnea Equipment The Sleep Apnea Airway Management System (SAAMS ™) is a combination of the TAP ® oral appliance and standard CPAP technology. SAAMS™ decreases the pressure of CPAP while holding the CPAP mask in a precise position without straps, thus eliminating many of the problems associated with CPAP.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of obstructive apnea in children. Obstructive sleep apnea is on the sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) spectrum. The sleep-disordered breathing spectrum includes snoring, obstructive hypoventilation and, at its extreme, obstructive sleep apnea.

- Knowledge center. Obstructive sleep apnea, also known as OSA, is a sleep disorder in which the person stops breathing for at least 10 seconds each hour during sleep. It is caused by relaxation of the throat muscles; the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and closes, resulting in blocked airways.he episodes of pauses in breathing are called apneas, which literally means without breath. An apnea is a period during which breathing either stops or is significantly reduced. In the USA the spelling is apnea, while in the UK/Ireland and many other countries the word is spelt apnoea.

People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night. There are two types of sleep apnea: obstructive and central. Obstructive sleep apnea is the more common of the two. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs as repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway blockage during sleep.
