Lethbridge Sleep Apnea Clinic at CRC

If you snore and are consistently tired throughout the day, you may require the services of Chinook Respiratory Care’s Lethbridge Sleep Apnea Clinic.

Snoring is not normal, nor is always being tired, especially during the day. If you are prone to falling asleep at your desk, or while you drive you may have Sleep Apnea. It’s believed that Sleep Apnea affects 1 in 5 people and up to 85% of those who have it go undiagnosed.

If you feel tired daily and are told you snore, it’s important to talk to your Medical Professional about Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and consider the use of a CPAP Machine when you sleep at night.

The Professional’s at Chinook Respiratory Care can walk you through the Sleep Study Process at their Lethbridge Sleep Apnea Clinic and provide the tools you need for a proper night’s sleep.

What is CPAP Therapy?

Once Sleep Apnea is diagnosed by a Doctor, CPAP therapy is prescribed to provide immediate relief from the symptoms. Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) treatment distributes pressurized air through a mask to keep the airway open and help prevent sleep apnea.

A CPAP Machine is a small medical compressor that outputs a preset pressure to a patient’s airway through a correctly fitted CPAP mask. This pressure is set to a level that prevents the obstruction, or collapse of the airway while a patient sleeps. The Respiratory Therapist at CRC will monitor the sleep results and initiate changes as needed to improve the effectiveness of the CPAP Therapy.

CPAP Therapy Benefits include:

• Immediate Elimination of Snoring
