Snoring means obstructive breathing during sleep, and its most exaggerated form is obstructive sleep apnea. Mild snoring may respond to simple self-help remedies. Heavy snoring responds well to the surgical removal or reconstruction of obstructive elements in the hypopharynx, nasopharynx or nasal passages.
打鼾意味着睡眠期间存在阻塞性呼吸,其最严重的形式是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。轻度打鼾可能对简单的自助疗法有效。重度打鼾对通过手术切除或重建下咽、鼻咽或鼻腔中的阻塞性结构反应良好。
