If you are viewing this, you are probably concerned that you, or your bed-partner, may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, so you are doing a little introductory research on treatment options. You may have heard a little about continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, but are still confused as to what it is or how it works. 
 
CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is a treatment that utilizes mild air pressure to keep the airways open. Typically, CPAP is used by people who have breathing problems, such as sleep apnea.
 
CPAP also may be applied to treat preterm infants whose lungs have not completely developed. For instance, doctors may use CPAP to treat infants who have respiratory distress syndrome or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (brong-ko-PULL-mun-ary dis-PLA-ze-ah).
 
CPAP therapy involves a CPAP machine, which has three main parts:
  • A mask or other device that fits over your nose or your nose and mouth. Straps keep the mask in place while you are wearing it.
  • A tube that connects the mask to the machine's motor.
  • A motor that blows air into the tube.
Once you have been issued a CPAP machine to take home with you, the most important thing you can do for your health is to USE IT REGULARLY. To help alleviate your obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, the Machine needs to be used on a nightly basis. Once you stop using it, your symptoms will often return immediately. This is because CPAP use is a therapy and not a cure, making compliance essential in getting you the treatment you need.
