WHAT IS SLEEP APNOEA? Sleep Apnoea and Hypopnoea Syndrome (SAHS) is a very common pathology (it affects 25% of the population) that entails a number of risks for health of the patients. SAHS consists of the repetition during sleep of a transient (of at least 10 seconds) closure of the upper airway, blocking the passage of air (apnoea) or limiting it (hypopnoea). The severity of this pathology can be classed as mild (if the number of respiratory stoppages per hour of sleep or AHI is between 5 and 14), moderate (if the AHI is between 15 and 29) or severe (if the AHI is 30 or over). Normal situation....
