What is a CPAP Machine and How Does It Work?

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a medical device used to treat sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. It works by delivering a continuous flow of air through a mask, keeping the airway open.

Sleep apnea can lead to poor sleep quality, fatigue, and serious health risks if left untreated. Using a CPAP machine ensures uninterrupted breathing and better overall health.

How Does a CPAP Machine Work?

The CPAP machine pulls in air, filters it, and delivers it at a constant pressure through a mask. This prevents airway collapse and ensures smooth breathing throughout the night.
