CPAP Therapy

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard and most effective treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CPAP therapy delivers gentle air pressure to keep your airway open during sleep, eliminating breathing disruptions and improving sleep quality, daytime energy, and overall health outcomes.

CPAP/APAP/BiLEVEL devices deliver a continuous or dynamically changing flow of pressurized air to the upper airway through a CPAP mask that patients wear over their nose and/or mouth during sleep. The therapeutic air pressure created by the CPAP machine keeps the airway open and prevents airway collapse during sleep, eliminating breathing obstructions caused by obstructive sleep apnea.

CPAP therapy is the most effective option for treating sleep apnea and does not involve surgery or medications. Most patients experience immediate relief of sleep apnea symptoms including snoring, breathing disruptions, and daytime fatigue, although it may take weeks or even months for complete symptom resolution and improved health outcomes in severe obstructive sleep apnea cases.

Using CPAP

It is worth remembering that CPAP is only a treatment, not a cure, so its benefits are only experienced as long as CPAP is used every time you sleep. Sleeping without CPAP will cause the symptoms of Sleep Apnea to return.

Tips for Common CPAP Therapy Concerns

The most common CPAP therapy challenges include trouble falling asleep with the CPAP mask, dry mouth and nasal dryness, and mask leaks affecting therapy adherence. These problems can often be overcome with proper CPAP equipment adjustments, mask fitting, and humidification settings to make your sleep apnea treatment comfortable and effective.

CPAP Equipment Care

Your CPAP equipment requires minimal maintenance, but following simple cleaning and care steps ensures optimal performance and effective obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Proper CPAP maintenance extends device lifespan, prevents bacterial buildup, and maintains therapy adherence by ensuring your CPAP machine and mask components stay in good working condition.

Replacement Frequency

The CPAP mask cushion wears out over time due to frequent nightly use, natural skin oils, and regular cleaning. Deterioration of the soft silicone or foam cushions may result in a less optimal mask fit, air leaks, and reduced therapy effectiveness. Replacing your CPAP mask cushion regularly (every 1-3 months) ensures your sleep apnea treatment remains comfortable, maintains proper seal integrity, and supports consistent therapy adherence.

Traveling with Your CPAP Equipment

If you are a CPAP user, you will need your CPAP machine when you travel to maintain therapy adherence and avoid sleep apnea symptoms. With a full range of portable travel CPAP devices from ResMed, Philips Respironics, and Fisher & Paykel, you can continue effective sleep apnea treatment wherever you go.
