Sleep Apnea Treatments

A common sleep disorder that affects many Americans is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The disorder causes a reduction in oxygen flow during sleep, often waking an individual up to briefly take a breath—a cycle that can repeat hundreds of times per night. Untreated OSA—or "sleep apnea" is serious and can result in mood swings, memory loss, stroke, heart attacks, or even death.

• CPAP

  • If you suffer from sleep apnea we are here to help! Baptist Health offers CPAP options through all of our Sleep Disorder Centers and our new Inspire Sleep Apnea Technology to qualifying patients at our Baptist Medical Center South location. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most commonly used solution for sleep apnea. Patients wear a mask attached to a hose that uses pressurized air to maintain open patient airways during sleep cycles.

• No Hose! Inspire Sleep Apnea Technology (Inspire)

  • Inspire is an FDA-approved sleep apnea treatment that works by implanting the Inspire system under the skin With only three small surgical incisions. Inspire works inside the body, mildly stimulating the airway muscles to keep them functioning optimally to produce a healthy natural breathing process that encourages sleep. Patients find the small handheld remote that turns Inspire on to be a simple step in their sleep routine ushering in peaceful nights of rest. Reports show that 90% of patients’ bed partners reported soft or no snoring and 94% of Inspire patients were satisfied with their results.
