CPAP Machines Review
Ready for Evaluation

CPAP machines are used by obstructive sleep apnea patients and as a cure for snoring. The CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) appliance and mask keeps the airway of sleep apnea patients open, or prevents it from collapsing due to the negative pressure from the lungs. The collapse of the airway is due to the relaxing of the muscles of the windpipe or trachea during sleep. The mask and machine prevents the collapse of the airway by applying a positive air pressure to the throat. A review of the benefits and an evaluation of this appliance should be done with a qualified medical professional. This CPAP machines review will likely include an overnight stay at a sleep clinic for an evaluation of the obstructive sleep apnea problem and to assess or obtain a correct fit and airway pressure. Additionally other treatments may be examined such as surgery for more severe physiological problems related to apnea.

CPAP Machines Reviewed-Assess and Review

The pressure at which the air has to be pumped into the lungs can be pre-set. Now sophisticated CPAP machines with auto pressure adjusting mechanism are available and should be reviewed and examined. The sensor in the CPAP machine checks the resistance to air pressure after every breath and the pressure needed at the given moment is supplied. The CPAP machine may have sensors that record the breathing pattern during sleep. This information when examined and reviewed allows the medical practitioner to review and assess the effectiveness of the appliance.
