Bipap Machines

Some medical problems can make it hard for you to breathe. In these cases, you might benefit from bilevel positive airway pressure. It is commonly known as “Bipap” or “BPAP.” It is a type of ventilator—a device that helps with breathing.

During normal breathing, your lungs expand when you breathe in. This is caused by the diaphragm, which is the main muscle of breathing in your chest, going in a downward direction. This causes the pressure to drop inside the tubes and sacs of your lungs. This decrease in pressure sucks air into your lungs. They fill with oxygenated air.

If you have trouble breathing, a Bipap Machine can help push air into your lungs. You wear a mask or nasal plugs that are connected to the ventilator. The machine supplies pressurised air into your airways. It is called “positive pressure ventilation” because the device helps open your lungs with this air pressure.Breathing difficulties can impact your quality of life. Fortunately, a variety of machines can help you breathe better.

If you are buying a BiPap machine for home use, you may want to talk with a professional who sells home medical equipment. This person can help you pick the type of BiPap machine best suited to your needs. He or she can also give you instructions about how and when to clean the masks, tubing, and other parts of the machine.

You might want to try several types of masks before deciding on the one you like best. If your mask feels tight, you may need to have it refitted.
How Bipap Machines Work ?
Like other ventilators, BiPAP machines use pressure to push air into your lungs. Depending on the setting, this opens the lungs, improving the level of oxygen in the blood.

A BiPAP is a type of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy that is used to facilitate breathing.
Where and When Bipap Machine is used?
Bipap machines can be used in hospitals, and are also available for those who need them at home.

Like other ventilators, Bipap machines use pressure to push air into your lungs. Depending on the setting, this opens the lungs, improving the level of oxygen in the blood and decreasing the carbon dioxide.

These machines are called “bilevel” because they have two air pressure settings:

1.} When you breathe in, Bipap machines deliver more air pressure. This is also known as inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP).

2.} When you breathe out, the machine reduces the air pressure. This is called expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP).

BiPAP machines can be used at home to treat medical conditions that make it difficult to breathe. Some conditions that it may be helpful for include:

1.} chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

2.} Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS)

3.} obstructive sleep apnea

4.} Central sleep apnea

5.} Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

6.} Asthma flare-up

7.} Breathing problems after a medical procedure

8.} Neurological diseases that negatively affect breathing

BiPAP machines are used in hospitals to treat breathing emergencies, and they can also be used at home to help with chronic conditions.

BiPAP machines may be used in hospitals to treat breathing emergencies. Because they’re non-invasive, they’re often a preferable treatment to intubation.

Doctors tend to use them in cases that aren’t severe enough to require intubation. For instance, a BPAP machine might be used to treat respiratory failure caused by a COPD flare-up, pulmonary edema, or pneumonia.

They’re also used to ensure proper breathing after taking someone off intubation.

A 2020 article suggests that BPAP ventilators might be an effective therapy for people experiencing moderate breathing difficulties caused by COVID-19.

When you first start using BiPap, you may feel uncomfortable. It may feel odd wearing a mask and feeling the flow of air. Over time, you should get used to it. If you feel like you really can’t breathe while using BiPap, talk with your healthcare provider. He or she may need to adjust the pressure settings on your machine.

It’s important not to eat or drink anything while using BiPap. You might inhale food or liquid into your lungs if you do so.

Talk with your healthcare provider if you are having any symptoms or problems while using BiPap. He or she can help you figure out how to address them. Here are some general tips:

A humidifier may help reduce nasal dryness. Using a facial mask instead of a nasal mask may also help lessen any eye or sinus symptoms. If you get headaches, they could be due to sinus congestion. In some cases, your healthcare provider might prescribe an antihistamine for these symptoms.

If you have a leaky mask, skin irritation, or pressure lines, you may need a different size or type of mask. You may also find that adjusting the straps around your mask helps.

Your healthcare provider may be able to help you avoid stomach bloating by reducing the pressure setting on your machine.

Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions about the best way to use your machine.
Types of Bipap machine ?
Generally speaking, BiPAP machines can be divided into two types according to different modes, one type of BiPAP with CPAP mode, S mode, T mode, S/T mode and another type of BiPAP with CPAP, S, Auto S mode.

1.} CPAP mode

The BiPAP machine can work under only continuous positive airway pressure, and reduce pressure as you exhale. There are no settings for EPAP and IPAP.

2.} S mode

S mode: spontaneous mode. The patient triggers breathing of the BiPAP machine, and the IPAP value and EPAP value are needed to be set up. BiPAP does not work if the patient does not initiate breathing. That is, the rise and fall of the pressure of BiPAP machine need to be controlled by patients, which can be said to be a “human-driven machine”.

3.} Auto S

Auto S mode is more intelligent than the first two modes.

If the user sets the minimum EPAP value and maximum IPAP value in advance, the inspiratory pressure provided by the machine will be intelligently adjusted between the two values according to the number of apnea or hypopnea events in a certain period of time. The expiratory pressure and inspiratory pressure are adjusted synchronously, and the pressure difference remains unchanged.

Because of the low expiratory resistance, this mode is suitable for users with high-pressure requirements, and the Auto S mode is suitable for patients with severe snoring and obesity.

4.} Timed mode

In this mode, BiPAP machine can work automatically so this mode is suitable for people who can’t breathe on their own.

5.} S/T mode

In fact, it is a combination of S mode and T mode, and in the S/T mode, BiPAP machine can set a backup breath frequency.

For example, if a backup breath frequency is set to 12/min, BiPAP machine works in S mode when the patient’s respiratory rate is higher than 12, and the machine is human-controlled. When the patient’s breathing rate is less than 12 beats per minute, the machine will trigger T mode (machine-controlled) to ventilate the patient at a rate of 12 beats per minute to avoid a low respiratory rate and lead to insufficient ventilation.

The S/T model is suitable for sleep apnea, respiratory failure, COPD with carbon dioxide retention, obesity and hypopnea, hypothermia and other diseases.

For respiratory failure and COPD, S/T mode is designed to help patients ventilate, reduce hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention due to poor ventilation, relieve respiratory muscle fatigue, and improve quality of life.

Because of those functional modes, the BiPAP machine is considered to be the most comfortable non-invasive ventilator for home use.

When the patient begins to inhale and the S-mode BiPAP machine senses the inspiratory airflow, the machine begins to increase the pressure to help the patient inhale enough air through higher pressure. When the patient begins to exhale, the ventilator reduces the pressure, making it easier for the patient to expel the exhaust gas from the lungs.

The use of S-mode requires the patient have the ability to breathe independently. If the patient’s breathability is not good, the machine cannot be triggered to work. All BiPAP machines have CPAP mode and S mode

Difference between Bipap and CPAP Machines ?

BiPAP and CPAP machines have a lot in common. They both deliver positive air pressure (PAP) via a tabletop device connected to a tube and a mask. They can sometimes be used to treat the same conditions, and have similar side effects.

The main difference between a BiPAP and CPAP machine is how the air pressure is delivered:

BiPAP machines deliver two levels of air pressure.

CPAP machines deliver a continuous level of air pressure.

CPAPs are typically the first treatment option for people with obstructive sleep apnea. The continuous pressure holds the airway open and there’s no need for two pressures.

But BiPAPs are an alternative when a CPAP machine isn’t working or well tolerated. They deliver a higher air pressure on inspiration and drop the pressure on exhalation. This makes them more effective or comfortable for some obstructive sleep apnea people.

According to the American College of Physicians, Bipap  are the preferred treatment for some people with COPD. This is because people with COPD tend to have trouble exhaling; some may find breathing out against continuous pressure from a CPAP machine difficult.

Another difference is that BiPAP machines deliver two pressures. The more of a difference there is between the IPAP and EPAP, the more the machine helps with taking deeper breaths. This makes them well-suited to treat breathing challenges caused by neurological conditions such as ALS and muscular dystrophy.

Some BPAP machines have a timer to deliver pressure even if the person stops breathing or is too weak to breathe. This makes them good for central sleep apnea or severe neurologic conditions.
