Sleep apnea, also spelled sleep apnoea, is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep.

Each pause can last for a few seconds to several minutes and they happen many times a night.

In the most common form, this follows loud snoring.

There may be a choking or snorting sound as breathing resumes.

As it disrupts normal sleep, those affected are often sleepy or tired during the day.

In children it may cause problems in school or hyperactivity.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure ventilator, which applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis to keep the airways continuously open in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own.

It is an alternative to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).

Both modalities stent the lungs' alveoli open and thus recruit more of the lung's surface area for ventilation.

But while PEEP refers to devices that impose positive pressure only at the end of the exhalation, CPAP devices apply continuous positive airway pressure throughout the breathing cycle.

Thus, the ventilator itself does not cycle during CPAP, no additional pressure above the level of CPAP is provided, and patients must initiate all of their breaths.
