"CPAP machine" is a general term often used to describe various machines that treat sleep apnea. These machines deliver air through tubing and into a mask to keep your airway open while you sleep. This process is known as sleep therapy and is designed to help you get a restful night's sleep.
Getting used to the consistent, pressurized airflow of a CPAP or APAP can be challenging.
A bilevel machine may help you breathe easier and enjoy a more restful therapy experience. If you're struggling with your current machine or having trouble getting used to therapy, talk to your physician about whether a bilevel may be a good option for you.*
If you’re diagnosed with sleep apnea, your sleep doctor will prescribe a type of machine based on your personal therapy needs and determine your airflow pressure level.
During your appointment with your sleep doctor, ask questions! Discuss the different machines and the various airflow and pressure settings so you both decide what’s going to be most comfortable for you. You're also able to request a ResMed-specific machine.
Your CPAP equipment provider will set up your machine with your doctor’s prescribed settings and help you feel comfortable with your therapy equipment. If an APAP machine is prescribed for you, like an AirSense™ 11 AutoSet or AirSense 10 AutoSet, have them verify it’s on the AutoSet therapy mode instead of CPAP (it includes both options).
We encourage you to ask your CPAP equipment provider questions. Your CPAP store personnel will monitor your nightly therapy and help troubleshoot any issues you may experience with your CPAP therapy, machine or mask.
