Positive Airway Pressure

Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is a treatment that helps improve breathing during sleep by delivering steady pressurized air through a mask. This pressure keeps the airway open, preventing it from collapsing or becoming obstructed, which is common in conditions like sleep apnea. There are different types of PAP therapy, such as CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure), tailored to individual needs. The goal is to ensure a continuous flow of air, promoting better sleep quality and overall health by reducing interruptions caused by breathing difficulties.
