CPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnea in Maricopa, Arizona
If you have trouble breathing while sleeping, CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) therapy can help keep your airway open and ensure proper oxygen intake throughout the night, even if you have sleep apnea.
What Is a CPAP Machine?
CPAP machines prevent airway collapse by delivering pressurized air through a mask—covering the nose, mouth, or using nasal prongs. Choosing the right mask is key for comfort and effectiveness.
Common CPAP Issues
Some users may experience dry nose, sore throat, mask irritation, or bloating. Adjusting air pressure, switching masks, or using a humidifier can help reduce discomfort.
Alternative Machines
-
BIPAP: Different pressures for inhaling and exhaling for easier breathing.
-
APAP: Automatically adjusts pressure throughout the night for personalized therapy.
Proper Air Pressure
CPAP pressures are personalized, typically 6–15 cmH2O. Correct use reduces risks of heart disease, stroke, and daytime fatigue.
