What is CPAP Therapy?
CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is considered the treatment of choice for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Patients with mild sleep apnea and symptoms of the disorder can also benefit from CPAP therapy.
Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy is a form of treatment for sleep apnea that uses air under pressure to splint open the airway while a person sleeps. A small machine draws in air from the room and gently blows it at a prescribed pressure level through tubing connected to a mask that the individual wears while they sleep. Masks can either fit at the nose, over the nose, or over the nose and mouth depending on what is most comfortable for that individual. The air under pressure acts to keep the airway open, preventing narrowing that causes snoring, and obstruction that disrupts sleep, and allowing the person to breathe more effectively while they sleep.
