PAP machines

PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) machines are medical devices used to treat sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The machine delivers a steady stream of air through a mask to keep the airways open, allowing for uninterrupted breathing. There are different types of PAP machines, including CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), and APAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure), each tailored to specific patient needs. Using a PAP machine can improve sleep quality, reduce daytime sleepiness, and decrease the risk of associated health issues such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
