What are the Benefits of an Auto CPAP Machine?

14th Aug 2022

Anautomatic CPAP machine is the most popular form of CPAP machine. It uses advanced sensors to detect how much pressure is needed at any point of time. When there is no danger, the pressure is kept to a minimum. When it is detected that sleep apnea is likely to occur, the pressure is increased to prevent it which results in a lower pressure than a fixed pressure machine, no compromise on settings, and more accurate therapy. A cpap machine filters are an important part of every CPAP machine, as it purifies the air before it's pressurized and delivered into your airway. MyCPAP provides various types of CPAP Filters in Australia.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN APAP MACHINES?

There are many benefits of using APAP therapy which include:

  1. DIFFERENT MODES:APAP machines offercontinuousmode (CPAP) as well as auto adjusting mode so users can easily switch between both modes without changing devices.
  2. ADJUSTS PRESSURE ACCORDING TO SLEEPING POSITION: Since the pressure can vary throughout the night, patients can easily changetheir sleeping positions andstill receive the right amount of pressure from theautomatic cpap machine
  3. COMFORT: Patients need less pressure during lighter sleep stages but APAP machines only increase the pressure when sleep apneaevents occur. Because they only get as much pressure as they require, many patientshave reported getting a more comfortable sleep at night using it which is why APAP Therapy has better success rates than CPAP.
  4. ADAPTS EASILY TO CHANGING LIFESTYLE/CIRCUMSTANCES: If a patient loses weight or has allergies that can lead to congestion, then they don’t have to adjust the pressure settings set by the doctor as the machine adapt to their changing needs on its own. For e.g., if a patient has a blocked nose or congestion, theautomatic CPAP machine will automatically adjust the pressure to allow them to breathe more easily.
  5. PATIENTS NEEDS TO UNDERGO LESS TESTING:Individuals who suffer from sleep apnea, have different testing options. They can either choose to be tested in a sleep clinic or at home. If testing is done in a sleep clinic, then the doctor will determine the amount of pressure that you will need but it often requires a second titrating study. Titrating means determining the exact pressure needs for your CPAP therapy. Even though an APAP machine is self-titrating which means that it can automatically adjust its own pressure settings, a doctor will still need to determine the machine’s pressure range through a sleep study.

An auto CPAP machine automatically adjusts to your breathing pattern, so you don’t need to know the amount of pressure you need. These machines are set to a range of 4-20cmlH20 and will detect and accommodate all pressures within this range. Besides minimizing the number of tests, you need to get done to begin your treatment, it will also cut down on costs associated with testing and the machine
