Positive Airway Pressure (PAP)

Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is a treatment for sleep apnea that uses a machine to deliver a steady flow of air through a mask, keeping the airway open during sleep. This prevents breathing pauses and snoring, allowing for uninterrupted rest and improved oxygen levels. PAP therapy is effective, customizable, and often includes different pressure settings tailored to individual needs. Common types include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which delivers a consistent pressure, and Auto-PAP, which adjusts pressure automatically. Proper use can significantly enhance sleep quality and overall health.
