More About CPAP & BiPAP Machines
Adequate sleep is essential to feeling good and being healthy. If you’ve got chronic sleeping issues, you should consult your physician. Your doctor may diagnose a recognized sleep disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This breathing disorder involves the airway collapsing during sleep, which reduces breathing or stops it altogether for short intervals. In many cases, the patient awakens just enough to resume breathing, then falls asleep so quickly they have no memory of briefly awakening. In the morning, they may feel very poorly rested and unwell due to oxygen deficiency. These restless nights prevent people from enjoying the deep, restorative sleep they crave. A CPAP or BiPAP machine is commonly recommended to resolve these problems. If your doctor has prescribed one of these devices, please read our information below and talk to us at Southwest Mobility, with two locations in Mesa and Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona.
CPAP Machine
This machine delivers a continuous stream of air into your airway, which keeps it open while you sleep. A CPAP machine is typically equipped with a single pressure setting that stays consistent throughout the night. Some CPAP machines come with a ramp feature that starts at a low-pressure setting, and gradually increases to the prescribed pressure level. Many users prefer this feature because the initial burst of pressure all at once can be overwhelming.
BiPAP Machine
A BiPAP machine has two separate pressure settings, one for inhaling as well as a lower pressure setting for exhaling. Some users find it a struggle to exhale against a high-pressure setting. People who have trouble using a CPAP machine may prefer a BiPAP machine for this reason.

Getting the right mask with the right fit is critical to CPAP or BiPAP success.
