Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a treatment for sleep apnea that uses a machine to deliver a steady flow of pressurized air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth during sleep. This continuous air pressure keeps the airway open, preventing it from collapsing or becoming blocked. By maintaining open airways, CPAP helps improve breathing, reduce snoring, and ensure restful sleep. It is a common and effective therapy for managing obstructive sleep apnea and improving overall sleep quality and health.
