General Description

The Clinic conducts diagnoses of breathing disorders in sleep and snoring, and offers recommendations for conventional or surgical treatment for these symptoms.

Snoring and Respiratory Arrest During Sleep

All voluntary muscles in our body, including those in the pharynx, soften and become limp during sleep. Certain structures in the pharynx quiver when air passes near them, mainly in the soft palate and tongue, and produce the noise of snoring. Then, when the muscles become even limper, the walls of the throat collapse and block the airway, causing breathing interruptions or respiratory arrest. The patient generally awakens and automatically reopens the airway. These events disturb the normal routine of sleep and cause various problems, from enhanced tiredness, a tendency to fall asleep during the day with the ensuing results including drop in work productivity, car accidents, impotence, irregular pulse rate and high blood pressure.

Surgical treatments aim to treat this disorder when all other attempts at changing behavioral patterns (changing sleeping positions, treating obesity, etc.) and using a CPAP pump have failed.
