The short answer: An abbreviation of “continuous positive airway pressure,” CPAP is a breathing therapy device that delivers air to a mask worn over the nose and/or mouth to help consistent breathing. It’s used primarily for sleep apnea, but also in the treatment of other breathing ...
Unlike a CPAP device, APAP machines only deliver the amount of pressure that’s necessary at any given moment. Physicians sometimes find that patients with more complex sleep apnea conditions (such as REM-related apnea or positional apnea), or who simply cannot get used to standard CPAP therapy...

Tip 5: Use AutoRamp™ on your CPAP machine This is one of the most popular settings on CPAP machines. The AutoRamp setting allows you to adjust to air pressure by starting at a very low air pressure setting while you’re trying to fall asleep and then it increases to full pressure...
The present technology relates to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) systems and/or methods of use for treatment, e.g., of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV). ...
In some implementations of this form of the present technology, the pressure support A is identically zero, so the treatment pressure Pt is identically equal to the base pressure P0 throughout the respiratory cycle. Such implementations are generally grouped under the heading of CPAP therapy. The ...
1.A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system that is configured to automatically recognize different types of patient interfaces that are usable with the CPAP system, the CPAP system comprising:a flow generator configured to generate the supply of breathable gas that is delivered to the pat...
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy has been used to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The mechanism of action is that continuous positive airway pressure acts as a pneumatic splint and may prevent upper airway occlusion, such as by pushing the soft palate and tongue forward and...
