A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a device that delivers a continuous flow of air through a flexible hose to a mask that fits over the nose and/or mouth. The air pressure is set to a level that is slightly higher than the person's normal breathing, which helps keep the airway open and prevents the person from experiencing episodes of apnea (temporary cessation of breathing) or hypopnea (shallow breathing) during sleep. The CPAP machine is often used to treat sleep apnea, a condition in which a person's airway becomes blocked or narrow during sleep, causing breathing to become shallow or stop altogether. The machine helps to keep the airway open and prevents the person from waking up due to lack of oxygen.
