CPAP Machines

What is a CPAP Machine?

CPAP therapy is the easiest and most effective form of sleep apnea treatment. A CPAP machine delivers consistent air pressure to a person’s airways via a CPAP mask. The pressure is high enough to keep your airway from collapsing, allowing you to breathe regularly and sleep without waking up and gasping for air during the night.  

What are the Benefits of CPAP Therapy?

Most importantly, CPAP therapy provides a good night’s sleep, which is vital to your overall health and well-being. CPAP treatment reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness and improves sleep quality, mood, focus, and other cognitive functions. 

Left untreated, sleep apnea is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, and an increased risk of death due to heart attack or stroke.

Are There Any Side Effects to Using a CPAP Machine?

When first starting to use a CPAP machine, it may be difficult to fall asleep because of your new “normal”. While we understand the challenges, CPAP therapy is crucial to improving your health if you have sleep apnea. After only a few uses, patients will start to gain the benefits of CPAP treatment. 

Other side effects of using a CPAP machine include discomfort, dry mouth, throat, and nose, skin irritation, and more. However, the health benefits of CPAP therapy far exceed the potential negative side effects.

How Does a CPAP Machine Function?

A CPAP machine takes in ambient air in the room through a filter that screens out impurities. It is then pressurized according to your individual needs that your doctor will prescribe you. Machines deliver pressure between 4 centimeters of water pressure (CWP) to 25 CWP.

To combat negative side effects of treatment (like dry mouths, throats, and nasal cavities), the air is usually pushed through a heated humidifier to add moisture to it. A CPAP mask then receives the humidified air through a tube for the user to inhale. 

To help CPAP patients, CPAP machines vary in features so that you can choose the right machine that best suits you. Features and variables to consider when choosing a CPAP machine include noise level, comfort features, data collection capabilities, size, and more.
