Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is considered by many the gold standard for the treatment of sleep apnea, especially for very severe cases. The CPAP and APAP machines are designed to increase air pressure going through the throat. This prevents the airway from collapsing during inhalation.
At Snore Experts, we have helped countless patients get a good night’s rest using CPAP treatments to treat their
PAP therapy maintains airway openness, ensuring uninterrupted sleep.
Tailored CPAP treatments for maximum comfort and effectiveness
The goal of positive airway pressure is to keep the airway from collapsing using air pressure. A machine sits on your bedside table, pressurizes air, then blows that air through a tube into a mask that is worn on your face while you sleep. This keeps the airway from collapsing so that the patient can breathe easier throughout the night while they sleep.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines increase pressure in the throat as a way to prevent the airway from collapsing while inhaling. CPAP machines also help to decrease snoring. CPAP machines have one pressure setting – the highest pressure you might need at any time during the night.
The Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) machine is a newer, “smart” form of the CPAP. It monitors you and adjusts pressure based on your needs throughout the night. APAPs tend to be much more comfortable for this reason. When a patient needs or prefers a machine for their sleep apnea, we tend to use an APAP.
These machines have come a long way – they are whisper quiet and the masks are much less obtrusive and more comfortable than they used to be.
Some patients may suffer from CPAP intolerance. Snore Experts offers several alternatives to CPAP and APAP that also offer effective relief from snoring and sleep apnea.
