bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)

Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is a medical device that helps people with breathing problems, especially during sleep. It delivers two levels of pressure: a higher pressure when you breathe in to keep airways open and a lower pressure when you breathe out to make exhaling easier. This helps improve oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal, reducing fatigue and sleep disruptions caused by breathing difficulties. BiPAP is commonly used for conditions like sleep apnea, respiratory failure, or other lung disorders, providing a comfortable and effective way to support natural breathing.
