What is CPAP?
Since first being introduced in the early 1980s, CPAP therapy has become the main treatment for
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by those in the professional sleep medicine
community.
CPAP therapy helps
keep your upper airways open at night so you don't snore or experience apnea.
With it, you wear a nasal mask and a small CPAP machine sends the right amount
of air through it to your nose while you sleep.
As technology has advanced, CPAP machines have become smaller, quieter, and more sensitive. Now they can detect changing patterns in breathing caused by neurological disorder, as with central sleep apnea. CPAP machines come in a wide range of choices. You can choose between different styles, portability options or data storage features. You can also get them with sophisticated humidity controls for optimal comfort and advanced airflow delivery systems.
