Sleep apnea and its most common treatment

If the sleep lab test comes back with a diagnosis of sleep apnea, the most common treatment is a CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure).  The CPAP machine gently blows oxygenated air into a face mask worn over the nose/face.  It makes oxygen readily available.  “At its best, CPAP totally reverses the cause of the condition and eliminates the apnea.”  (UT Healthleader, http://www.uthealthleader.org/index/article.htm?id=fb6e7dd0-42f6-42bf-bb05-818bde0ab2e4  Another option in sleep apnea machines is called Adaptive servo-ventilation machine.
