Sleep Apnea & CPAP

Armando Diaz of SleepMed Therapy Services presented a program on Sleep Apnea and the use of CPAP as treatment. Dr. Adrian Santamaria, specializing in neurology and sleep medicine also joined us to give more technical information about the causes of Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.

The most effective treatment is the use of a CPAP Machine. To learn more click on the presentation below.
