CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure)

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a treatment commonly used for individuals with sleep apnea, a condition where a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts 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 interruptions in breathing. This helps improve sleep quality, reduces snoring, and decreases health risks associated with sleep apnea, such as heart problems and daytime fatigue. Regular use of CPAP can significantly enhance overall well-being and daytime alertness.
