What are CPAP machines?
Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) is one of the most recommended and commonly used noninvasive treatments for many sleep disorders, especially Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
CPAP machines and CPAP accessories include of a flow generator, a nasal or a full face mask and an air tube, the flow generator of CPAP machines applies an air pressure that is slightly higher than the surrounding air pressure.
The air pressure flows through the air tube to the mask and into the patient's throat, working like a "pneumatic splint" that keeps the upper airway open and prevents it from collapsing.
