Airway revolution develops projects that increase awareness and promote airway health. The organization's first project is a documentary series called "breathless." this docuseries follows the powerful, emotional stories of everyday people caught up in this epidemic. It explores the science that is tracking the syndrome. We meet people, like you and me, who are not getting enough air and hear from the courageous professionals who go beyond the traditional protocols to save them. We look at the current technology, from cpap and oral appliances to nerve stimulators and major jaw surgery.the documentary series relates the acute and chronic effects of airway compromise and it inspires us with the stories of lives transformed when these are properly diagnosed and treated.
