There are several types of sleep therapy machines, but a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is the most common. A CPAP machine is designed to send a constant flow of airway pressure to your throat so that your airway stays open during sleep, effectively treating the spontaneous pauses in breath associated with sleep apnea.5

Adjusting to therapy
Getting fully comfortable with your machine and mask can take a little time, but it will happen – and it’s worth it.
Life with therapy
You can get into a comfortable nighttime routine, and the change in how you feel when you’re awake can be significant.
CPAP provides one level of pressure to your upper airway throughout the night.
Auto-adjusting provides a variable pressure throughout the night based on your needs and sleep stage.
BiPAP bi-level provides two levels of pressure throughout the night, your prescribed pressure on the inhale and a lower pressure on the exhale.
Display settings
PAP machines have different settings that allow you or your doctor to adjust air pressure, depending on the model. You should always be sure to use the setting your doctor specificies.
Tubing
Tubing passes air from the machine to the mask. It’s important to position the tube over or through your headboard so that you don’t pinch it.
Air filter
Filters ensure that you’re only breathing clean air. Some machines have one filter, while others include an ultra-fine filter, too.
A humidifier can connect directly to your machine to add moisture to the air as you breathe. On some models, a humidifier is included within the device.
