CPAP BiPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnea Sufferers
Most of the physicians across the globe consider using Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) or Bi-level Positive Air Pressure (BiPAP) as proven techniques for helping patients suffering from acute sleep apnea. A patient’s sleeping pattern is observed over a period of time and is recorded in an especially designed CPAP machine.
This CPAP machine then provides for a continuous air supply during the course of the night and maintains the necessary pressure needed for regular breathing. A number of advanced CPAP machines continuously monitor the air pressure during sleep patterns and regularly increase or decrease the air supply in conjunction with the change in the breathing.
On the other hand, BiPAP therapy is based on CIPAP, the only difference is instead of one single continuous air pressure, there are two pressures. The lower pressure is called EPAP or expiratory pressure, which is timely regulated to eliminate obstructions. The other pressure is called IPAP or inspiratory pressure.
The IPAP is used to eliminate snoring and partial airway resistance and thus maintain a smooth flow of air supply to the nostrils. BiPAP therapy is recommended for patients who cannot take the stress of CPAP therapy and who cannot resort to the continuous high or low pressures of the air supply during sleep.
BiPAP therapy continuously changes the pressure rates during the patient’s sleep cycle, and hence the changed pressure assists in helping the patient reach to a comfort level whereby he experiences natural sleep.
CIPAP therapy, though quite effective, is a bit uncomfortable for patients suffering from sleep apnea as most of them do get cycles of normal breathing. Thus, by implicitly pumping air to the nostrils at a predetermined fashion, the patient does get uneasy and irritating at times.
Both CIPAP and BiPAP are latest techniques for the sleep deprived patients of sleep apnea and both have their advantages and disadvantages in tow. The choice of selection rests on the physician who stands out as the ultimate authority to decide what is good for his patient and otherwise.
