Introduction to CPAP and BiPAP Machines

Researchers have estimated that sleep apnea affects 20% of the global population, and as many as 85% of people with sleep apnea don't realize they have it. These numbers are worrisome, because untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications. People with untreated sleep apnea are at higher risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and many other conditions.

However, once sleep apnea has been diagnosed, there are effective treatments available that can decrease the risks associated with it – and virtually eliminate the symptoms. This guide from Mark Drug Medical Supply will introduce two of the most common treatments: CPAP and BiPAP machines.

You can find CPAP and BiPAP machines for sale here at Mark Drug Medical Supply, along with a wide selection of parts and accessories. We welcome customers from all over the Chicago area at our store in Wheeling, IL.

CPAP Machines

CPAP stands for "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure." The CPAP machine delivers a steady, continuous stream of pressurized air through a mask to keep the airway open. This prevents the upper airway from closing and reduces the frequent interruptions that occur with sleep apnea. Most people with sleep apnea find CPAP machines to be very effective.

BiPAP Machines

Those who have difficulty with CPAP machines may find success with a BiPAP machine. BiPAP stands for "Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure." The BiPAP machine has two settings: one for inhaling and another for exhaling. This system is ideal for people with severe sleep apnea who need higher pressure settings for inhalation that make it harder to exhale.

Humidifiers

Humidifiers are popular accessories for CPAP and BiPAP machines. Many people experience dry mouth and sinus irritation from using their CPAP or BiPAP machine, and these side effects can be prevented by a humidifier. Humidifiers introduce moisture to the inhaled air so that the airways do not become dry and irritated.

Masks

The mask is one of the most important components of a CPAP or BiPAP machine, and there are several options available for masks. The most low-profile option is a nasal pillow mask, which only covers the nostril area. A nasal mask covers the entire nose area, while a full mask covers the nose and mouth. Another option is a full-face mask.


If you think you might benefit from using a CPAP or BiPAP machine, make sure to consult your doctor to determine the best course of treatment. When you are ready to purchase the supplies you need, head over to Mark Drug Medical Supply. You can find us in Wheeling, IL.
