I am traveling through airport security for the first time since getting my Inspire® implant. What should I tell the airport security agent?
There is now four general proximate pathways and targets for therapy by which one might develop recurrent apneas and hypopneas, the signature features of sleep disordered breathing (Figure 1).

But they may cause nasal irritation and discomfort, especially at higher-pressure settings, because air is being forced directly into the nostrils.
Surgical options include septoplasty, turbinate reduction, septorhinoplasty and nasal valve surgery alongside with endoscopic sinus surgery (
CPAP was first developed in the 1980s and its underlying principle is that of continuous mild air pressure which serves to stent open the airway, and thereby overcome anatomical areas of collapse or obstruction. The key elements of the system include a CPAP machine (which creates the pressure gradient) and tubing, which attaches to, and transmits pressure to, the CPAP mask.
Medications to treat contributing conditions such as rhinitis or hypothyroidism can also be of use. Simpler modifications to the CPAP system such as implementation of a chin strap may also be beneficial (34). In addition, patients with nasal congestion may benefit from the use of the full face mask system. Humidification of the CPAP system may also be beneficial although research has been conflicting in this regard, with more recent reports suggesting no positive impact on compliance but an improvement in the overall side effect profile, particularly nasal symptoms (35,36).
Randomized controlled data demonstrate that this treatment can improve OSA, though best results are typically observed in patients with more mild disease. In practice, these devices have experienced limited use as they are difficult for many patients to use, insurance coverage is poor and objective documentation of efficacy is difficult to determine using conventional technology.
Learn more about sleep apnea and get all of your questions answered. We have a limited number of consultation times available, so schedule yours as soon as possible.
After an initial titration period, patients should undergo either polysomnography or out-of-center portable testing to objectively confirm the efficacy of the device.
CPAP may help oxygenation by methods of lung recruitment or keeping airways open but it does not aid in the clearance of CO2 and is not considered a method of non-invasive ventilation (NIV).
The most common side effects from the implant procedures are minor sore throat, pain at the incision sites, and aching muscles.
Most people don’t develop a cough with CPAP, but when it does happen it can be pretty annoying. A CPAP cough is usually caused website by your throat or airway becoming sensitive to your CPAP air or irritation caused by your CPAP equipment.
