What's the Difference Between CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP Machine?

 

What is obstructive sleep apnea well sleep apnea is a condition where during the night your muscles of your throat and tongue relax and they tend to fall backwards into your airway during sleep blocking the path of valuable oxygen as it comes from the outside air into your lungs the Fox agem can't reach your lungs your organs and tissues don't get the oxygen they need and that causes a big problem

 

So what these machines do is they blow a steady stream of pressurized air through the mouth or through the nose that pressurized air is actually used to open up the airway by blowing back some of the excess tissues and allowing that oxygen to reach your lungs if you treat your obstructive sleep apnea you'll feel a burst of energy in the morning

 

I know I do when my machine and therapy work right I feel a burst of energy I have I don't get drowsy in the afternoon I get a lot of positive benefits with my life all because I'm getting the oxygen I need at night and this device here is a CPAP machine maybe you've heard of it maybe you have it but

 

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure and it's going to blow a one single set pressure between four and 20 and it's going to blow at that pressure that it's programmed to and it has no ability to change unless you actually go into the settings and change it to a different pressure CPAP devices are also the least expensive of the three models and they're also the least sophisticated so there's a trade-off this device

 

PAP machine it stands for automatic positive airway pressure and a pap device is basically a device that samples and measures your breathing figures out what pressure you need to be at and then it automatically changes the pressure to suit whatever need you have at the particular time in the night so the a PAP machine is going to be a little bit more advanced it's going to be moderately a pepper also stands for automatic positive airway pressure the automatic meaning that it can automatically select the appropriate pressure for you

 

BiPAP machine so BiPAP students for bi-level positive airway pressure which basically means that instead of being set at one pressure setting the BiPAP has two and so what that means is basically the BiPAP has one pressure setting for inhale one pressure setting for exhale the exhale pressure is lower than the inhale pressure so that when you exhale you're not fighting against the air coming in you're able to breathe out a little bit easier by peps are also used to treat specialized conditions like complex sleep apnea or central sleep apnea central sleep apnea is a condition in which the brain simply does not send the signal to breathe to the lungs so you could be sleeping and you lungs couldn't get the signal to breathe and in the process you're not going to meet you're not going to take the breath so you need to take to keep your organs happy so what this machine does is it's able to actually prompt breathing in central sleep apnea patients it's also used to treat complex sleep apnea which complex sleep apnea is a condition in which central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea are occurring at the same time

 

BiPAP machine is able to help with that as well so bike apps aren't necessarily to be thought of as like just a better apap five apps are designed to treat very specific things very specific conditions and they serve a very specific purpose they're not just you know a fancier machine five apps are also the most expensive out of the three and generally you have to have a special prescription to get a BiPAP machine

 

If you need to get your sleep apnea treated you would have to get a prescription from a doctor before you could go out and buy one of these things but if you do have sleep apnea and you are able to use these it's going to help change your life . So if you if you have sleep apnea get it treated it's going to be worth it
