Bipap machine

A BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a type of non-invasive ventilator used to help people with breathing difficulties, such as those suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions. Unlike CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines, which provide a constant airflow, BiPAP machines provide two levels of pressure: one for inhalation (IPAP) and a lower pressure for exhalation (EPAP). This makes BiPAP therapy more comfortable and effective for individuals who need assistance with both inhaling and exhaling.

How Does a BiPAP Work?

  • Inhalation Pressure (IPAP): This pressure is delivered during the inhalation phase to assist the user in breathing in.
  • Exhalation Pressure (EPAP): A lower pressure is maintained during exhalation to make it easier for the person to breathe out.
  • BiPAP machines are often prescribed for people who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or need more advanced ventilatory support.
