Sleap Apnea, COPD and CPAP/BiPAP Machines

Conditions such as sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory failure are sometimes treated with CPAP positive airway pressure or CPAP. CPAP machine involves using a mask over the nose, mouth (or both) during the night. A flow of pressurized air is blown through the mask to keep the lungs ventilated.

Some patients, however, are not able to follow the CPAP treatment because of shortness of breath. In other words, they find it difficult to breathe out against the continuous positive pressure of the air in CPAP. The alternative is a bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP).

While CPAP provides one pressure, BiPAP provides two:

Higher pressure during inhalation (IPAP)
Lower pressure during exhalation (EPAP)

BiPAP has different benefits, depending on the condition of the patient. A patient with chronic respiratory failure, for example, benefits from the BiPAP because the IPAP unloads the diaphragm and makes breathing easier. In the same way, patients with obstructive sleep apnea adapt better to the IPAP and EPAP settings of BiPAP and achieve a better sleep.

Comfort is an important factor during the use of CPAP and bipap because it improves compliance—the number of hours per night that the device is used. The longer CPAP and BiPAP are used every night, the better results a patient will obtain. At the beginning of the treatment, some people may find the mask uncomfortable, but they must keep trying because it takes some time to get used to it. Fortunately, there are different types of mask available that will fit their particular face shape.

CPAP and BiPAP are only for treatment—they do not cure respiratory problems. Depending on the condition, a cure may require surgery or other medical interventions. CPAP and BiPAP, however, can eliminate the complications of respiratory problems, while avoiding high-risk interventions.

When selecting air cleaners, consumers are influenced by several factors, including visual appeal, noise level, and frequency of filter replacement. There are many different types of filters, some can be cleaned by water, by hand or by vacuuming while others need to be replaced within a few months or a few years.
The most popular sort of filters for air purifiers is the HEPA filter. The Department of Energy has rigid requirements manufacturers must pass to meet HEPA requirements. Products that say "HEPA-type" or "HEPA-like" may not meet these requirements. HEPA requirements necessitate being able to filter out 99.97% (the percentage may vary within 2 decimals) of pollutants in the air of down to 0.3 micrometres in size.
CADR Rating ( Clean Air Delivery) is a standardized indicator of how well a particular air cleaner can function as compared to other air cleaners. The higher it is, the stronger the power of purification. CADRs are rated by AHAM, or the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, and are based on stringent requirements as produced by the association itself.

Some people stop breathing momentarily when they sleep. This is called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. People with sleep apnea have narrow throats. Their muscles relax during sleep narrowing the throat even more and causing loud snoring. Sometimes, though, the throat is completely blocked and air can’t reach the lungs.

The periods when they are not breathing are called apneas and can last up to ten seconds. Trying to breathe again, they often wake from their deep sleep. Thus, people with sleep apnea don’t sleep well at night and are drowsy all day. Interestingly, they usually do not remember their apneas from the night before. For this reason, relatives and partners are the first ones to recognize the symptoms.

Sleep apnea is common in obese persons and can cause some serious complications such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, arrhythmia, extreme drowsiness and even changes in personality. During apneas, the level of oxygen in the blood drops, which eventually may result in the right side of the heart failing.

Fortunately, sleep apnea can be treated. Doctors usually prescribe a mechanical device that makes breathing easier, such as positive airway pressure. CPAP involves using a mask over the nose, mouth (or both) during the night. A flow of pressurized air is blown through the mask to keep the lungs ventilated.
A related condition is called central sleep apnea. This type of apnea, however, is caused by a problem in the brain—and those who have it are gravely ill. Central sleep apnea occurs in people with brain lesions, or other conditions affecting the brainstem.
When the sleep apnea is not related to other diseases it is called idiopathic central sleep apnea. While people with other types of apnea may treat their related conditions to eliminate the apnea, those with idiopathic apnea must use the CPAP, every time they sleep.

CPAP and BiPAP Therapy Machines

Cpap Mechines, Cpap Masks & Cpap Supplies

Continuous positive airway pressure Cpap machine is basically a pump used to pass a measured stream of air into the airway of the sleeping patient, splinting the airway (keeping it open under air pressure) so that unobstructed normal breathing becomes possible, reducing and/or preventing apneas and hypopneas.
CPAP treatment is primarily used in treating obstructive sleep apnea, although sometimes only partial improvement results.
