    What is a CPAP Machine?

    CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This machine is the most common form of therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. The machine comes in three different varieties:

    • Traditional CPAP Machines

      This type of CPAP machine supplies therapy air at only one pressure.

    • APAP Machines

      This machine is capable of supplying different pressures. These pressures change depending on what the individual needs as the night progresses. Most people use this type of CPAP machine due to its versatility and flexibility.

    • BiPAP, or BiLevel, Machines

      These machines have two levels for pressure. Inhale has a certain setting and exhale has a separate lower pressure setting.

    A CPAP machine can be a great way to treat your sleep apnea. Before you buy one, it is imperative to complete a sleep study and consult with your doctor. Set up a sleep consultation today.
