CPAP:
CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a machine that helps patients suffering from respiratory diseases or other diseases. It is mainly used for sleep apnea to help patients breathe efficiently and adequately.

According to sleepapnea.org, approximately 22 million people in just the US suffer from sleep apnea. It is a disorder that leads to disturbing sleep by obstructing your airways. This generates an abnormal breathing pattern, which does not let the patient have a peaceful sleep.
To overcome this disease, scientists invented CPAP machines. These machines make sure you get a continuous supply of air by adjusting the level of airflow pressure. To figure out what level of CPAP pressure is needed for you, your sleep specialist would recommend you partake in a sleep study.

APAP:
APAP or automatic positive airway pressure (also known as auto-titrating) is another type of PAP treatment given to patients suffering from sleep apnea or other such disorders. It is quite similar to the CPAP machine.

It is a device used to treat Central Sleep Apnea or Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It delivers the air to the patient’s airways at a balanced rate or on a breath-to-breath basis for normal breathing.

BIPAP:
A BiPAP or bilevel positive airway pressure machine is a device that will help you to breathe effortlessly. As the name suggests, a BiPAP machine offers two air pressure levels as opposed to the CPAP machine, which offers only one.

To understand how this works, you’ll need to know a bit about how respiration takes place. When you breathe in, your diaphragm moves down, and your lungs fill up with air. When you breathe out, your diaphragm then goes back to its normal position, allowing you to let the air out of your lungs.

When you suffer from COPD, this function doesn’t work as well as it does in normal lungs. This could be because the air sacks of your lungs don’t fill up entirely due to some damage, or there’s a lot of mucus blocking your airways, or there could be many other reasons for this. It basically means that you don’t have enough air coming in to meet your body’s oxygen requirements.

This is where a BiPAP, sometimes called a BPAP machine arrives to rescue. BiPAP therapy provides the air pressure to ensure that your airways stay open and you breathe properly. The device uses two levels of air pressure settings, one for exhalation (also known as EPAP pressure) and one for inhalation (also known as IPAP or inspiratory pressure). When you’re inhaling, high pressurized air is used, and when you're exhaling, the machine makes use of low pressure. A BiPAP machine is used in the treatment of COPD, obstructive or central sleep apnea, and other neurological lung conditions.
You are required to use BiPAP masks to connect your respiratory system to the machine. There are many types of BiPAP face masks that you can look for like full-face or nasal masks. Check which one is the most comfortable for you.
