Positive Airway Pressure Therapy (PAP)
Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy is a common treatment for sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway blockages. PAP therapy works by blowing pressurized air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth, which keeps the throat and airway open, preventing interruptions in breathing. At Revere Health, we offer personalized PAP therapy solutions to help patients with sleep apnea achieve better sleep and improve overall health.
How PAP Therapy Works
Pressurized Air: A PAP machine delivers a continuous stream of pressurized air through a mask, keeping the airway open during sleep.
Mask Options: Masks come in different styles to fit over the nose, mouth, or both, ensuring comfort and effectiveness based on patient preference and needs.
Adjustable Settings: The air pressure can be adjusted based on individual needs to ensure effective treatment of sleep apnea.
Types of PAP Therapy
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): The most common type of PAP therapy, delivering a constant level of air pressure throughout the night.
Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP): Offers two levels of pressure — a higher one for inhaling and a lower one for exhaling, often used for patients who have trouble with CPAP.
Auto-adjusting PAP (APAP): Automatically adjusts the pressure level throughout the night based on the patient’s needs.
Benefits of PAP Therapy
Improved Sleep Quality: Keeps the airway open, allowing for uninterrupted sleep and reducing symptoms such as snoring and daytime fatigue.
Reduced Health Risks: Treating sleep apnea can lower the risk of complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Personalized Treatment: PAP therapy can be customized to each patient’s needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
