Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep. It involves wearing a adjustable mask over the nose or face that delivers a steady stream of air at a gentle pressure. This airflow keeps the airway open, preventing interruptions in breathing and improving sleep quality. CPAP is typically used every night and is effective in reducing symptoms like snoring, daytime fatigue, and associated health risks. Proper fit and consistent use are key to maximizing its benefits and ensuring comfortable, effective therapy.
