Auto – Adjusting CPAP – APAP

Initially we only had machines that delivered airway pressure at a constant rate and there were no cycles while applying pressure. But now with the advancement of technology, machines have been developed that adjust to the person’s needs and therefore are a bit better than the previous ones. Behold the APAP. The APAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure) machine is designed to automatically adjust on a breath after breath basis to blow the minimum amount of pressure that is needed to keep your airway open during sleep. This allows your device to provide ideal pressure to the airway during the night.

APAPs are somewhat more advanced than CPAPs as they usually offer more therapy tracking information and more comfort features. The major difference is that an APAP can function like a CPAP to blow constant pressure through the airways. On the other hand, CPAP machines cannot automatically adjust pressure like an APAP.

• APAP can work as CPAP – APAP machines come with a setting that allows the user to use the machine on CPAP mode as well thus it has got you covered no matter what you want.
• Breath changes are accommodated – Different people have different breathing patterns throughout the night. As your breathing pattern changes the APAP machine adapts thus giving you efficient therapy at all times.
• APAP is great even if you’re sick – Sometimes cold or allergies can congest your lungs and airways thus making it difficult for standard CPAP to work. APAP can adjust according to your breathing capacity which generally gets reduced while suffering from cold.
• Adapts to body changes – APAP therapy is known to adapt to different body changes such as gain or loss in weight. APAP automatically makes the changes so that you have to do nothing while the machine adapts.

• Feasibility – APAP machines are high tech sophisticated devices and hence cost a little more than standard CPAP machines.
• Adjustments take time – Though the machine adapts to different changes, the time it takes to make adjustments might be a little longer. The machine can make different adjustments through the night which sometimes disturbs the users sleep.
• Averse to some conditions – People with chronic heart disease or obesity hyperventilation syndrome are advised to avoid using APAP therapy as it can cause complications.
