What Does CPAP Stand For?

CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is a medical therapy commonly used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It involves delivering a steady stream of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep, thereby facilitating normal breathing and improving overall sleep quality. CPAP therapy is effective in reducing the symptoms of sleep apnea, enhancing oxygenation, and decreasing associated health risks.
