Let us find an affordable, high-quality new auto BiPAP machine today.
You may be curious about the differences between CPAP and BiPAP machines. A CPAP machine works by emitting pressure that helps regulate your breathing. The pressure delivers air at one set level prescribed by your doctor. A BiPAP machine is a type of advanced CPAP. The BiPAP machine works to regulate your breathing, the same as a CPAP does, but the BiPAP does so with bi-level pressure. Bi-level pressure means that there are two separate pressure systems. One sets your inhalation pressure, and the other regulates exhalation pressure. The dual pressure points make breathing more natural than the single-pressure CPAP.
There are two types of patients who would benefit most from using a BiPAP machine instead of a CPAP. These patients consist of those who don’t tolerate the CPAP and those with pulmonary diseases that require more help breathing than a single pressure CPAP can offer, such as COPD. There are many reasons why people don’t handle the CPAP well, but the most common is pressure intolerance. A great majority have trouble breathing against the pressure, which causes discomfort.
BiPAP makes exhaling easier. Ease in exhaling helps those who need higher pressure settings breathe more comfortably. Machines like the ResMed S10 AirCurve V Auto, with its Easy-Breathe technology, mimics your natural breathing patterns. This technology makes it easier to adapt to using the machine regularly. People with severe obstructive breathing problems such as COPD may find the therapy beneficial because they struggle to get enough oxygen and release CO2. A BiPAP machine helps regulate these difficulties, making breathing smoother.
BiPAP machines are often significantly more expensive than CPAP machines. The reason for this difference is that BiPAP machines are more expensive to make. They use a more advanced technology which costs more to produce. Plus, BiPAP machines also need to be more durable than their CPAP counterparts because of the constant ebb and flow of the different pressures. But, CPAP Liquidators has the lowest prices guaranteed and are ready to help you find the perfect machine for your needs.
