Takes In Air
During sleep, your body automatically breathes for you without you thinking about it. Your diaphragm is responsible for intaking fresh air and breathing out carbon dioxide. However, those with sleep apnea or other disorders can’t get the air their body needs. A BiPAP machine delivers pressurized air via a mask while you sleep.
Delivers Air
Once the air is taken in, it is pressurized and often humidified before it is delivered via a tube and mask to your body. The BiPAP machine is a small box with a fan that blows the air through the tube.
Customized Settings
A BiPAP is similar to a CPAP machine except it offers customizable settings. It works by allowing the user to breathe air in and exhale air at two different pressures. This makes exhaling easier and potentially more effective, especially for those with COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
Helps to Prolong Your Life
While on the surface, sleep apnea does not appear to be all that harmful, the truth is that long-term, it can have some dangerous health effects, even death. This is because your heart is under a lot of stress during those one-minute periods when you stop breathing at night. Less blood is flowing, so all of your vital organs are receiving less oxygen, which, as you may know, can cause strokes and heart attacks. Thus, getting help for sleep apnea is crucial to longevity for many.
