PAP Therapy Treatment Options-CPAP and Bi-PAP Explained
The team of sleep specialists at MedOne is dedicated to recommending the most suitable treatment approach tailored to your specific requirements and lifestyle to help restore your ability to sleep with confidence and comfort. Therapies include CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BIPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure)devices, which assist individuals with obstructive sleep apnea in breathing more easily while asleep. These machines work by increasing air pressure in the throat, preventing the collapse of the airway during inhalation.
Should I be prescribed a CPAP machine or a BiPAP machine?
CPAP machines have emerged as one of the most widely used treatments for sleep apnea. They deliver a continuous stream of pressurized air to prevent the collapse of the airways, a common cause of sleep apnea. It's important to note that CPAP machines typically offer a single air pressure setting, unlike BiPAP machines, which provide two settings. CPAP machines are equipped with a "ramp" feature that starts at a low pressure level and gradually increases to the recommended setting as per medical advice. On the other hand, BiPAP machines have separate settings for inhalation and a lower pressure level for exhalation. The determination of whether CPAP machines are suitable for your specific sleep apnea severity will be made based on a comprehensive evaluation by our team.
