CPAP is an acronym for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP is a small machine that delivers a steady, gentle flow of air delivered through a soft, pliable nasal mask worn over the nose. The machine forces air into the nasal passages at pressures high enough to keep the airway from collapsing, allowing normal breathing.CPAP is currently the best treatment for severe obstructive sleep apnea, Daytime sleepiness improves or
resolves. Heart function and hypertension also improve. And importantly, the quality of life improves.
