CPAP vs. BiPAP

What's the difference between CPAP and BiPAP machines?

Sleep apnea may seem innocent to some, but it can have major consequences if left untreated, including stroke, diabetes and heart failure.  When you have sleep apnea, there are many things you can do, including taking medications, making lifestyle changes, using an oral breathing device, getting surgery, CPAP treatment or BiPAP treatments. Both CPAP and BiPAP treatments work in a similar way by helping you breathe through the night, but each option has its own pros and cons. 

Who can benefit from using a used BiPAP machine from CPAP Liquidators?

While CPAP machines are typically the most common sleep apnea treatment, they don't work for everyone. BiPAP machines were created for those who have trouble exhaling against the CPAP machine pressure. BiPAP machines are also ideal for those who have respiratory failure. BiPAP therapy is also often used for people with neuromuscular or lung disorders and for those who haven't had success with CPAP therapy. 

Should you talk to your doctor about BiPAP therapy?

In most cases, you can rely on your doctor to tell you if your medical conditions or sleep apnea are severe enough for BiPAP therapy as opposed to CPAP therapy. However, if you are having trouble exhaling against the pressure from your CPAP machine, then you may want to consider BiPAP therapy as an alternative.
