Obstructive Sleep Apnea

If you have obstructive sleep apnea, a CPAP machine is often the bet for you. CPAP machines only deliver the air at one specific pressure and does not vary. Most often, the same amount of air pressure is delivered all throughout the night.

CSA or CompSA

If you have CSA (Central Sleep Apnea) or CompSA (Complex Sleep Apnea), a BiPAP machine is often recommended. This is because in these two types of sleep apnea, the person often stops breathing in the middle of the night, and a BiPAP is able to detect this and prompt your body to breathe.


COPD

If you have COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), which is a disease where you have difficulty breathing, a BiPAP machine is also highly recommended so that your breathing can be more controlled while you sleep.


Other Breathing Disorders or a Need for Increased Ventilation

With a BiPAP machine, you simply have more control over the amount of air that is delivered. Plus, it can sense when you need air during the night and help you to breathe better. Those with a pulmonary disease or any type of disease where you need assistance breathing in and out are better off with a BiPAP machine.
