3. ??? sleep apnea occurs because the brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing
5. also known as a sleep study
6. defined as the average number of episodes of apnea and hypopnea per hour of sleep without the use of a positive airway pressure device
8. a ??? is defined as an abnormal respiratory event lasting at least 10 seconds associated with at least a 30% reduction in thoracoabdominal movement or airflow as compared to baseline, and with at least a 4% decrease in oxygen saturation
9. ??? positive airway pressure
10. Servo-Ventilation this bipap is designed to treat complex sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
11. ??? sleep apnea is a combination between obstructive (absence of airflow but continued respiratory effort) and central (absence of airflow and respiratory effort)

1. ??? sleep apnea causes breathing to stop and start during sleep
2. ??? positive airway pressure
4. this bipap is designed for people with respiratory conditions conditions that affect breathing such as restrictive lung disorders, severe COPD and hypoventilation
7. refers to the temporary cessation of breathing
