What Does CPAP Stand For?

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure and designates a specific type of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. A CPAP machine emits a continuous stream of pressurized air at a fixed rate. The air is directed through a mask so that a user’s upper airways remain open during both inhalation and exhalation. Pressure is adjustable on a CPAP machine, but it remains constant throughout the night once set. Most CPAP machines have pressure settings between 4 and 20 cm H2O.
