Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive treatment method used to treat sleep apnea, a condition in which a person repeatedly stops breathing during sleep. CPAP works by applying a steady stream of air pressure to the airways to help keep them open, preventing pauses in breathing and allowing for a better sleep. CPAP has also been found to provide health benefits such as improved sleep quality, reduced snoring and daytime sleepiness, as well as decreased blood pressure and improved quality of life. CPAP is considered the first-line treatment for sleep apnea, and is both safe and highly effective.
