CPAP Therapy and Sleep Apnea Treatment in San Tan, Arizona
If you have trouble breathing while sleeping, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy can help. CPAP machines keep your airway open, ensuring proper oxygen flow and better sleep for those with sleep apnea.
How CPAP Works
CPAP devices deliver pressurized air through a mask—covering your nose, mouth, or both—to prevent airway collapse. Masks include full-face, nasal, or nasal pillow styles for comfort and effectiveness.
Some users may experience dry nose, congestion, skin irritation, sore throat, or mild discomfort. Adjusting mask fit, air pressure, or using a humidifier usually resolves these issues.
Alternative Air Pressure Machines
- BIPAP: Provides different pressures for inhaling and exhaling for easier breathing.
- APAP: Automatically adjusts air pressure throughout the night for comfort.
Proper Air Pressure
CPAP pressure is individualized, generally ranging from 4–20 cmH2O, with 6–15 cmH2O common for obstructive sleep apnea. Your doctor can help set the optimal level for your needs.
