Types of CPAP Machines

Are you recently diagnosed with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) or looking for information about which PAP Machine would best fit your needs? Several types of PAP machines are available, each of which has specific approaches to improving your long-term sleep therapy results. The GoCPAP team is here to help you navigate the world of sleep therapy to get the therapy you need and the sleep you deserve.

Your PAP Options

Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment uses a machine to send air under pressure into the airway of the lungs. The air that is delivered to your lungs prevents episodes of airway collapse that can obstruct the breathing for people diagnosed with OSA or other breathing conditions.

Your Physician will be able to recommend the type of PAP machine that targets your specific diagnosis and will help your condition. Among the types of machines that will be recommended are:

CPAP Machines

CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and is the common therapy used to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This machine provides a gentle and constant pressure to keep your airway open.

APAP Machines

APAP or auto-adjusted positive pressure machines will change the pressure you need throughout the night based on your breathing and sleeping patterns. This option is popular for individuals who struggle with CPAP machines or are more active sleepers.

BiPAP Machines

If you need a higher pressure range with your sleep therapy, a BiPAP machine may be exactly what you need. BiPAP or bilevel-positive airway pressure machines have two settings: high pressure flows when you inhale, and low pressure is when you exhale.

Travel CPAP

For the individuals who find themselves traveling often, there are CPAP and APAP options for on-the-go treatment. Travel PAP machines are small and lightweight for easy packing purposes. Not all travel PAP machines are FAA compliant, so check with the manufacturer or your healthcare provider to make sure that your specific model is approved for in-flight use.

Some of the most popular travel PAP machines that are FAA-approved include:

ResMed AirMini
Breas Z2 Auto

Every type of PAP machine requires a prescription in order to be purchased.
