When renting a CPAP machine, consult with a KWIPPED supplier so you choose a quality machine from a good manufacturer. Also, be sure that it offers all of the features and options that you want for your machine. Those who are renting the machine for use with infants and children need to make sure they will be able to get masks that work correctly.

The machine will come with a hose that connects from the machine to a mask or a nosepiece, which the user will have to wear. Many of the machines also come with a humidifier, so you are not only blowing dry air into your lungs, which can be irritating. Many of the machines also have a mask off alert, which ensures that if it comes off in the middle of the night, you can wake up and put it back on. A number of the devices also offer data recording to get information about apnea events and more.

The CPAP uses constant pressure as a means to keep your airway open. Many patients use the machine during the night so that they can breathe easily and get a good night’s sleep. It helps with apnea as well as snoring, which means that it can help others in the house get a good night’s sleep as well. Other times, patients may want to use the CPAP during the day, as it can help to reduce instances of daytime drowsiness. The mask will cover the patient’s nose and mouth in most cases. However, there is a mask that covers the nose only, which may be preferable for some users. Since it requires you to wear a mask, it can be difficult for some patients to get used to the machine.

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure, and that is exactly what these machines offer. This is a simple nonsurgical device that offers mild pressure by providing a constant flow of oxygen to the patient. As the patient breathes, the CPAP ensures that they are able to keep their airways open. This is a very common treatment for those who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
