From Sleep Study to PAP device, Step Two

 

 

So, your doctor recommended a Sleep Study for you and you had one done.

And now your Sleep Doctor gave you a prescription to obtain a medical device called PAP.

What you will learn in today’s post:

  • Three common types of PAP units and what each prescription looks like.
  • The common PAP machines, what they are called and what they do
  • What guides to use to choose your PAP device.
  • How to quickly order a complete PAP system.

Step Two

There are three common types of PAP devices:

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (uses a single speed of blowing air into you to keep your airway open during sleep)
  • APAP, Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (adjusts the blowing air speed for you as you sleep to keep your airway open.)
  • BiPAP, Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (Delivers a programmed inhalation air speed and a separate exhalation air speed. Programmable to breathe for you)

NOTE: The numbers below may not reflect the settings you require. The numbers below are examples only.
