CPAP Therapy Machine & Mask – Advanced Sleep Apnea Treatment

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is a treatment used for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other respiratory conditions. It delivers a constant flow of pressurized air to keep the airways open, preventing pauses in breathing during sleep.

How CPAP Therapy Works

A CPAP machine consists of three main components:

1. CPAP Machine – Generates a continuous stream of air.
2. CPAP Mask – Worn over the nose or mouth to deliver air.
3. Tubing & Humidifier – Connects the machine to the mask and provides moisture for comfort.

Types of CPAP Masks

• Nasal Mask: Covers the nose and is ideal for users who breathe through their nose.
• Full-Face Mask: Covers both the nose and mouth, suitable for mouth breathers or those with nasal congestion.
• Nasal Pillow Mask: Minimalist design with soft inserts that sit at the nostrils, offering a lightweight feel.

Considerations for CPAP Therapy

• Adjustment Period: It may take time to get used to CPAP therapy.
• Mask Fit: A proper fit is crucial to avoid air leaks and discomfort.
• Regular Cleaning: Masks, tubing, and humidifiers should be cleaned frequently to maintain hygiene.

Who Needs CPAP Therapy?

• Patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
• Individuals experiencing loud snoring, frequent awakenings, and daytime fatigue.
• Those with chronic respiratory conditions requiring airway support.
