I have sleep apnea and use a C-Pap with oxygen also What can too much oxygen cause?
Oxygen makes you more alert and clear thinking. Navy pilots are required at times to go an 100% oxygen prior to an approach if cruising altitude has been higher than a certain level
If, however, you are a carbon dioxide retainer, excessive oxygen can be fatal. In a CO2 retainer, excessive O2 can cause the respiratory system to slow, and cause a fatal amount of CO2 to build up in the lungs. I have personal experience with this, and nearly over dosed on O2 on one occasion.
What else can I help you with?
What is VA disability rating for mild sleep apnea with CPAP machine?
How many times does a person have to stop breathing during sleep to have sleep apnea?
When you have sleep apnea do the mask has oxgen in it?
Not usually. Sleep apnea is treated with a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine that delivers pressurized room air to a mask or nasal "pillows". Some CPAP patients may also receive oxygen therapy, but this is unusual.
How much supplemental oxygen is needed with sleep apnea?
The amount of supplemental oxygen needed for individuals with sleep apnea can vary depending on the severity of their condition and other factors. In general, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most common treatment for sleep apnea, which provides a constant flow of air to keep the airway open during sleep. Supplemental oxygen may be used in conjunction with CPAP therapy if there are additional respiratory issues present, but the specific amount of oxygen required would need to be determined by a healthcare provider based on the individual's oxygen saturation levels and overall health.
What device is worn by a person with sleep apnea-?
It's called a CPAP machine. A portable device that helps the air flow...Has a little mask that goes over face. I've also heard of similar IPAP and BI-Pap machines. Truly the best cure typically is weight loss-but of course that isn't the cause of sleep apnea in all cases. http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-apnea/continuous-positive-airway-pressure-cpap-for-obstructive-sleep-apnea
What is the purpose of a sleep apnea mask?

What are the benefits and considerations of using CPAP for kids with sleep apnea?
The benefits of using CPAP for kids with sleep apnea include improved quality of sleep, reduced daytime sleepiness, and better overall health. However, considerations include the need for proper mask fit, potential discomfort, and the need for regular cleaning and maintenance of the CPAP equipment.
What type of sleep apnea is treated with mechanical ventilators?
For moderate to severe sleep apnea, the most successful treatment is nighttime use of a ventilator, called a CPAP machine. used to treat both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
How can a CPAP machine be effectively used for a child with sleep apnea?
A CPAP machine can be effectively used for a child with sleep apnea by ensuring the mask fits properly, using it consistently during sleep, and monitoring the child's progress with the machine through regular check-ups with a healthcare provider.
How effective is the use of child CPAP therapy in treating pediatric sleep apnea?
Child CPAP therapy is considered highly effective in treating pediatric sleep apnea by providing continuous positive airway pressure to keep the airway open during sleep, improving breathing and reducing symptoms.
What is the purpose of a CPAP mask?
