CPAP Machine
A CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, machine is the standard machine that is the most popular type for CPAP therapy and is the one recommended the most for sleep apnea treatments. These machines use a constant pressure setting all night long that helps to keep your airways open while you sleep, helping to eliminate waking up in the middle of the night and other health conditions caused when you stop breathing temporarily.
BiPaP Machine
A BiPAP, or bilevel positive airway pressure, machine has two different pressure settings. A higher pressure is produced when the patient inhales, while a lower pressure is produced when the patient exhales. This type of CPAP therapy is often recommended for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).
Every week, take your CPAP machine apart to clean it. Using warm water and mild soap, gently but thoroughly clean the humidifier chamber, the mask pillow/cushion, the mask, and the tubing. Rinse with warm water and let the parts air dry.
APAP Machine
An APAP, or automatic positive airway pressure, machine is very similar to a CPAP machine except that its pressure automatically adjusts while you are sleeping, based on if it thinks you need more or less pressure.
Travel CPAP Machines
Since many people travel frequently, having a travel CPAP machine can ensure you still receive the best CPAP therapy possible. These travel CPAP machines have all of the features of a standard CPAP machine except they are more compact, lightweight, and easy to pack. They also can be used during flight.
