Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a medical treatment primarily used for people with sleep apnea, a condition where breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. A CPAP machine delivers a steady stream of air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth, keeping the airways open and preventing blockage. This helps improve airflow, reduces snoring, and promotes better sleep quality. By ensuring that the airways remain open, CPAP treatment can help prevent the serious health issues associated with untreated sleep apnea, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.
