CPAP and BiPAP Machines
CPAP and BiPap Machines
CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. These machines are often used to help treat obstructive sleep apnea. CPAP machines work by gently pumping air through a mask that fits over the patient's nose or face. This air is slightly pressurized, so it keeps the throat from getting closed off, which prevents obstructive sleep apnea. These devices are not considered to be ventilators in the strictest sense of the word because they don't assist with breathing in (inspiration). Instead, CPAP machines deliver the same low level of airflow for the entire night to ensure the airway doesn't get obstructed.
BiPAP machines are also known as bi-level positive airway pressure devices. These machines work as ventilators because in addition to providing air pressure to keep the airway open, they also work to assist inspiration (breathing in). These devices are best suited for people who have problems with their neuromuscular system (which controls breathing) or who have a weak or injured diaphragm. These machines also work using a mask that the patient wears at night. The machine contains an airflow sensor that determines when the patient is inhaling and exhaling. When the patient is inhaling, the machine increases the flow of air through the mask to make it easier for the patient to inhale.
