What is OSAS?
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) is more commonly known as sleep apnoea. Individuals with sleep apnoea will experience upper airway collapses (apnoeas) or partial blockages (hypopnoeas) during sleep.
Full collapses block the airways and cause respiratory arrest. As a result of the respiratory arrest, the oxygen levels in the blood drop considerably. This triggers the brain to trigger a waking response and open the airways, which is known as an arousal. Sleep apnoea may cause hundreds of arousals a night. The combination of oxygen deficiency and arousals disrupts sleep and impairs the function of organs and hormones.
