Description
A bipap machine for sale.
A Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machine is a noninvasive ventilator that uses a mask to deliver pressurized air, assisting with breathing by providing higher pressure during inhalation (IPAP) and lower pressure during exhalation (EPAP). It is primarily used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, and neurological conditions.
Key Aspects of BiPAP Machines
Function: Unlike CPAP, which provides constant pressure, BiPAP’s two-level system makes it easier to exhale against the airflow.
Settings: The machine can be set to timed modes or adjusted based on breathing patterns.
Uses: Used for sleep apnea, respiratory failure, or when CPAP is not effective or tolerated.
Side Effects: Common issues include dry mouth, nasal congestion, skin irritation from the mask, bloating, or feelings of claustrophobia
