另一種是中樞性睡眠呼吸暫停(central sleep apnea), 是指大腦沒有適時地發出信號給控製呼吸的肌肉(收縮或放鬆)而引起的呼吸暫停. 較少見. 也用CPAP/BiPAP等呼吸機治療或藥物theophylline等.
To eliminate snoring and prevent sleep apnea, your doctor may recommend a device called
a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
A CPAP machine delivers just enough air pressure to
a mask to keep your upper airway passages open, preventing snoring and apnea.
