A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the most commonly prescribed device for treating sleep apnea disorders.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes interruptions or pauses in your breathing often because your throat air airways briefly collapse or something temporarily blocks them.

A CPAP machine programmed to produce pressurized air into your nose and mouth as you sleep.This keeps your airways open and helps you breathe normally.It improves your ability to sleep without waking up. It lowers the risk of having heart attack,stroke,or other cardiovascular event.It lowers your blood pressure as well as reduces daytime sleepiness.

CPAP machines are the most commonly used for obstructive sleep apnea,which occurs when a person’s airway becomes blocked by mouth or throat relax during sleep.

Continuous PAP(CPAP), auto-adjusting PAP (APAP) and bilevel PAP (BiPAP), are the three main types of PAP machines. They all creates airflow that is pushed through the tubing,to the mask,and into your lungs.

The biggest difference between BiPAP and CPAP is in the air pressure being delivered by the machine. CPAP provides air at one constant air pressure setting the entire time, while BiPAP has one pressure level for inhalation and a second, lower pressure level for exhalation.

CPAP and BiPAP machines are both forms of positive airway pressure therapy 

,which uses compressed air to open and support the upper airway during sleep. A portable machine generates the pressurized air and directs it to the user’s airway via a hose and mask system. Both systems use similar masks, hoses, and other accessories.

In general, CPAP machines have an adjustable pressure setting that delivers between 4 to 20 cm H2O 

. While CPAP machines have only one setting, some models now have a pressure relief option that allows for gentler air pressure on the exhale.

BiPAP machines have two pressure settings — inhalation positive airway pressure (IPAP) and exhalation positive airway pressure (EPAP) — that allow for lower pressure levels during exhalation. Depending on the BiPAP machine’s settings, the switch between IPAP and EPAP may be timed or automatically based on the user’s breathing patterns. BiPAP machines have a typical pressure range of 4 to 30 cm H2O. Both BiPAP and CPAP settings must be determined in an overnight sleep study, or polysomnography.

When starting CPAP therapy, some people struggle to adjust to the feeling of exhaling while air is being pushed into their lungs. With BiPAP, that reduced air pressure setting usually makes it easier to breathe.

Types Of CPAP Machine

1. Manual or Standard 

A Manual or standard CPAP machine can be operated manually by managing the pressure according to the doctor’s prescription. Manual CPAP machines maintain a consistent pressure level throughout the night.

2. Auto CPAP

APAP or auto-CPAP stands for Automatic Positive Airway Pressure. This machine automatically adjusts the pressure optimum for the CPAP therapy.

It is a type of PAP therapy that has an auto-adjusting pressure algorithm that analyzes the breathing needs of the patient according to obstruction level.
