Board certified in sleep medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. John Krehlik has a long-established private practice in sleep medicine in Alaska. With offices in Anchorage, Juneau, and Wasilla, he works closely with health care organizations throughout the entire state to proved needed patient care. Backed by an experienced staff, Dr. John Krehlik provides a range of sleep-related patient services, including CPAP therapy.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy, or CPAP therapy, is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The therapy allows a person's airway to remain open while sleeping at night by gently providing a steady stream of air through a mask worn during sleep. CPAP involves the use of a quiet and usually small machine, with a soft flexible tube leading from it to the mask.
CPAP therapy typically puts and end to sleep-apnea-induced breathing pauses and stops choking noises and snoring during sleep. This in turn leads to more alertness in the morning and enhanced memory, and it can also prevent serious health issues associated with sleep apnea including stroke and heart problems.
