faqs

1. Does CPAP give air or oxygen?

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy delivers a constant airflow to keep the airway open during sleep. It does not directly provide supplemental oxygen. However, some CPAP machines can attach an oxygen concentrator or a separate oxygen device to deliver a blend of air and oxygen. This can benefit individuals who require both CPAP therapy and supplemental oxygen to manage their sleep apnea and oxygen levels effectively. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate recommendations and usage.

2. Is CPAP only used while sleeping?

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is primarily used during sleep to treat sleep apnea and maintain open airways. However, there are instances where an Auto CPAP machine can also be used during waking hours. 

For example, individuals with severe respiratory conditions may require continuous or extended use of the CPAP machine to support their breathing throughout the day. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on the appropriate usage and duration of CPAP therapy based on individual needs. At Portea, we provide rental and purchase options for CPAP machines to support patients’ respiratory health.

3. What is the difference between CPAP and CPAP auto?

The main difference between CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and CPAP Auto is the level of pressure adjustment. CPAP delivers a fixed pressure throughout the night, set by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s needs. On the other hand, CPAP Auto is an advanced version that automatically adjusts the pressure based on the patient’s breathing patterns and needs. 

CPAP Auto provides a more personalized and dynamic therapy experience, allowing for optimal comfort and effectiveness. At Portea, we offer rental options for both CPAP and CPAP Auto machines to cater to different sleep apnea treatment requirements.

4. How long can a patient be on CPAP?

The duration of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy varies depending on the patient’s needs and the severity of their sleep apnea. In most cases, CPAP is recommended for long-term use to manage and treat sleep apnea symptoms effectively. Patients may use CPAP every night during sleep for an extended period, potentially for several years or even lifelong. 

Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers are essential to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure optimal treatment outcomes. At Portea, we provide rental options for auto CPAP machines, enabling patients to access continuous therapy as long as required for their sleep apnea management.

5. Is CPAP safe for the lungs?

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is generally safe for the lungs. CPAP machines deliver a continuous flow of pressurized air to keep the airways open during sleep, preventing episodes of breathing pauses and improving oxygen levels. 

By maintaining proper airflow, CPAP reduces the strain on the lungs and helps alleviate sleep apnea symptoms. However, it is essential to use CPAP as a healthcare professional prescribes and undergo regular follow-ups to ensure proper settings and monitor any potential side effects. 

Consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice if you have concerns about CPAP therapy. At Portea, we offer rental and sale options for auto CPAP machines to support your sleep apnea treatment.
