1. What is CPAP Therapy?
CPAP therapy involves the use of a machine that delivers pressurized air to your body while you sleep. This helps to prevent your body from temporarily stopping breathing at times during the night by keeping the airways open.
2. What is the CPAP Machine?
A CPAP machine is a box that takes air in the room, filters it, and then pushes it into your body via pressure. It delivers the air via a tube and a mask that fits over your nose and/or mouth.
3. Who is CPAP Therapy for?
CPAP therapy is primarily prescribed for those with obstructive sleep apnea, which is when air cannot reach your lungs while sleeping at night. CPAP machines can also be used on infants with underdeveloped lungs. With so many CPAP machines, you can customize yours to fit your unique needs.
4. Is CPAP Therapy Effective?
CPAP therapy is highly effective. Since its inception in 1981, CPAP machines and therapy have helped millions of people get the sleep their body needs in order to function properly. Plus, it’s helping people live longer lives since chronic insomnia and sleep apnea can have a negative effect on your health.
