CPAP therapy
Positive airway pressure ventilation effectively reduces sleep apnoea symptoms and improves the quality of life.
Sleep and sleep disorders
Sleep disorders can be caused by both physical and psychological factors. It's a good idea to seek help if you have a sleep disorder.
Sleep apnea examination, night polygraphy
A reliable at-home examination to diagnose and assess the severity of sleep apnoea.
Sleep apnoea oral appliance
A treatment especially for mild sleep apnoea.
Ask about our treatment options and prices by booking a phone appointment with our sleep apnoea nurse. Once you have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, you can also directly book an appointment to start treatment with a CPAP machine.
The symptoms of sleep apnoea can range from mild to severe and can significantly reduce quality of life. Sleep apnoea symptoms typically occur at night, but they will also affect you during the day.
Failure to treat sleep apnoea can lead to serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders and chronic fatigue. That is why it's important to identify symptoms of sleep apnoea early and seek tests and treatment, if necessary.
Sleep apnoea and the CPAP machine used to treat it, as well as certain medications, cause a dry mouth in most patients. A healthy mouth is a prerequisite for treating sleep apnoea, which is why regular dental check-ups are part of comprehensive healthcare.
Prevention is the most effective treatment for sleep apnoea. A doctor familiar with sleep apnoea will assess each patient's situation and treatment individually.
Sleep apnoea cannot be completely cured, but, with the right treatment, symptoms can often be controlled. The diagnosis is based on the symptoms and, usually, sleep registration that lasts overnight, most typically performed for a sleep apnea examination (night polygraphy).
Self-care for sleep apnoea includes lifestyle changes, such as:
If you suspect that you have sleep apnoea, see a doctor as soon as possible.
The issue is urgent if your symptoms are severe and clearly reduce your quality of life or cause dangerous situations, such as falling asleep while driving.
AirMini, intended for the treatment of sleep apnea, is a small and lightweight travel device that allows you to conveniently continue treatment outside the home, for example when traveling. This portable device ensures that sleep apnea treatment is not interrupted regardless of your life situation.
AirMini can be rented for the duration of the trip or purchased as your own. The device's settings are set at a sleep apnea nurse's appointment, where you must book an appointment separately. At the appointment, the sleep apnea nurse will advise you on how to use the device, fit you with a suitable mask, and go through the hose options. The appointment usually takes 30 minutes and costs €72.20 (including the basic fee).
The price of the ResMed AirMini device is €1,100.00. In addition to the device, you will need a hose and mask suitable for AirMini. N20 or F20 masks are suitable for use with AirMini. The prices of the masks are €60–165 and the price of the hose is €45. If you already have a mask, please bring it to the reception so that we can check its compatibility with the AirMini device.
Sleep apnoea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that involves repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. This causes frequent sleep disruptions, which reduces the quality of sleep and can put a strain on the body.
Untreated sleep apnoea puts a strain on the body and makes you prone to various illnesses.
Almost everyone occasionally experiences reduced or paused breathing. Sleep apnoea is when these abnormal breathing events occur frequently during the night and are associated with a decrease in blood oxygen levels. If a person has been found to have repeated pauses in breathing, it may be justified to perform a sleep registration to assess the situation.
The diagnosis of sleep apnoea is typically based on the assessment of symptoms and sleep registration, such as a sleep apnea examination, night polygraphy.

Sleep apnoea cannot be completely cured, but with the right treatment and lifestyle changes, its symptoms can be controlled, which significantly improves the quality of life and reduces other health risks.
Sleep apnoea cannot be completely cured, but with the right treatment and lifestyle changes, its symptoms can be controlled, which significantly improves the quality of life and reduces other health risks.
As people sleep, their muscles relax, which can cause some people's upper airway to narrow, preventing air from flowing back and forth freely in the airway. This can lead to repeated pauses in breathing and sleep disruptions. Being overweight significantly increases the risk of sleep apnoea, but about one third of people with sleep apnoea are normal weight.
Avoiding excess weight gain, losing weight if necessary, not smoking, exercise, reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding medications that depress the central nervous system decreases the risk of sleep apnoea and often reduces the severity of already diagnosed sleep apnoea.
If lifestyle changes are not sufficient, sleep apnoea can be treated, for example, with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine or an oral appliance for sleep apnoea, and in some cases also with positional therapy or surgery.
Positional therapy for sleep apnoea controls the patient's sleeping position. The patient can be guided to sleep on their side by, for example, a sleep apnoea belt, which can reduce pauses in breathing, which are more likely to occur when sleeping on one's back.
