    GlossaryContinuous Positive Airway Pressure

    delivers steady air pressure to keep airways open during sleep

    Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a treatment method commonly used for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea. It involves a machine that delivers a steady stream of air through a mask, keeping the airways open during sleep to prevent breathing interruptions. This helps maintain consistent oxygen levels and improves sleep quality.
