All About CPAP and BiPAP Machines
If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, your health care provider might prescribe a sleep therapy device, such as a CPAP or BiPAP machine. These products are designed to effectively eliminate the disruptions that occur with sleep apnea, and provide the user with uninterrupted sleep. When used as directed, CPAP and BiPAP machines can be almost 100% effective!

The Purpose of Sleep Therapy Equipment
Sleep apnea is a very common condition, but that does not make it any easier for the people who experience it. Whether or not they are consciously aware of it, people with sleep apnea experience repeated awakenings throughout the night, and this interferes with their ability to reach the deepest and most restful phase of sleep. This inevitably results in the telltale symptom of sleep apnea – that is, an overpowering exhaustion that no amount of sleep can cure.
Ever since the advent of sleep therapy equipment, people with sleep apnea no longer need to live with constant fatigue. With a CPAP or BiPAP machine, you can finally sleep through the night undisturbed, and wake up feeling refreshed. Because sleep is so important to overall health, this can have wide-ranging benefits, from improving mental health to reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. You might be astonished at how much a sleep therapy device can change your life for the better!
How Do CPAP Machines Work?
Now let’s take a closer look at CPAP and BiPAP machines, starting with the most common choice. CPAP is an acronym that stands for continuous positive airway pressure. These machines deliver a consistent, predetermined level of air pressure throughout the night, without any variation. The pressure setting depends on the individual needs of the patient, as determined by their doctor.
Some CPAP machines have a ramp feature, which allows the device to “ramp up” to the prescribed pressure level after starting at a lower level of pressure. This can assist people whose lungs need time to adjust. Other than that, the air pressure delivered by a CPAP machine remains constant.
How Do BiPAP Machines Work?
Most people with sleep apnea are well-served by CPAP machines, but if you have difficulty using one, your doctor might recommend a BiPAP machine instead. BiPAP stands for bi-level positive airway pressure. As the name implies, this device offers one pressure setting for inhalation, and another for exhalation. This can be easier on the lungs than the continuous pressure delivered by the CPAP machine.

“Gave up prematurely on CPAP years ago, feeling confused and frustrated when things didn't go well. Working with Miller's this time around has been outstanding, especially with Nia, who has been so knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. I feel heard and partnered, and just slept a full night with the machine on my first try. But I know if difficulties arise I'll have support. So glad I chose them!”
