As a type of non—invasive ventilation, or breathing support, a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is one of the most common treatments for sleep apnea as it keeps the airways open while you sleep therefore receiving the oxygen you need for optimal function.  

CPAP is a simple concept with 3 basic parts. The first is an air pump (CPAP machine), the second is a mask that covers the nose and sometimes the mouth and the third is a tube that links the two.  CPAP works by providing a positive pressure of air through the mask and into the airway, which helps to keep the airway open.  This helps to prevent breathing difficulties, increase the level of oxygen in the lungs and removes the unwanted gas (carbon dioxide) out of the lungs.  CPAP is usually only needed at night time or during sleep.

The mask has a soft, flexible cushion that rests against your face therefore getting this cushion in the right place is important so that it is comfortable, won’t hurt you and makes a good seal with no air leaks.  If the mask is too loose or too tight, the seal won’t be effective.  CPAP masks come in several shapes and sizes: masks that fit over your nose, masks that fit over your nose and mouth and masks that cover your whole face.  Dajia Technology manufactures 3 models of CPAP mask.
