What is PAP Therapy?

PAP therapy, or positive airway pressure therapy, is a general term that health professionals apply to all sleep apnea treatments that provide patients with a stream of compressed air while they sleep to support their airway. Your patient wears a mask while sleeping with PAP therapy. The device then blows pressurized air from the room into the patient’s upper airway through the mask with a connected tube.

How Does PAP Therapy Work?

PAP therapy helps keep your sleep apnea patients’ airway open and prevents it from collapsing while they sleep, enabling them to breathe normally. For maximum results, your patients should use the PAP device each time they sleep, including naps.

PAP therapy, overall, is an effective and safe treatment, but you should make your patients aware of a few contraindications, such as pneumothorax, bullous lung disease, severe epistaxis (nosebleeds), or cerebrospinal fluid leak.

What PAP Options are Available to Patients?

There are several different PAP devices on the market, and some are better suited to treat a patient’s sleep apnea symptoms than others. To manage your patient’s sleep apnea or other sleep condition efficiently, selecting the proper treatment is extremely important.

CPAP

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a form of PAP therapy where the machine delivers a steady level of airway pressure determined by the physician through a CPAP mask.

This type of therapy is best suited for those with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), as the continuous pressure ensures their airways are kept open throughout the night. The more severe a patient’s OSA is, the higher pressure is required in order to avoid obstruction during sleep.

CPAP is still the go-to treatment for sleep apnea, and it’s stuck around for a reason. It does a solid job for people dealing with mild to moderate OSA. It’s also cheaper than other PAP options, which is exactly why most insurance plans cover it over the pricier alternatives.

Now there’s virtual CPAP too. Patients can get set up and monitored remotely, so they’re not stuck driving in for every little check-in.

BiPAP™

BiPAP™ (Bilevel positive airway pressure) therapy functions similar to a CPAP machine, but with one key difference. This machine utilizes dual pressures: an inhalation pressure (IPAP) and a exhalation pressure (EPAP), which is a lower pressure to match the patient’s breathing pattern. These pressures auto-adjust so the user is able to maintain a steady rhythm.

BiPAP tends to work better for patients with Central Sleep Apnea (CSA). It’s also a solid option for folks who tried CPAP before but couldn’t handle that single, continuous pressure setting.

These days there’s virtual BiPAP too. Patients get their setup and check-ins done remotely, so there’s less back-and-forth with in-person visits.

APAP

Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) is one of the three primary types of PAP that delivers air to your sleep apnea patient’s airway, helping them breathe while they sleep. Similar to other PAP devices, the APAP device connects to a mask that’s connected to a pressure generator.

However, with an APAP device, there are two settings: a high-pressure setting and a low-pressure setting. These settings allow the device to adjust itself automatically to meet the breathing needs of your patients that could change when they’re changing sleep positions, or moving in and out of different sleep stages.

APAP Therapy is best suited for those who frequently change their breathing patterns as they sleep, and require different pressure levels throughout the night. It is also recommended for those who have seasonal allergies, as APAP machines can adjust for any added pressure needed due to congestion.

Patients who are gaining or losing weight can also benefit from APAP therapy. If they change their lifestyle and end up losing a lot of weight, they will have less throat fatty tissues that could cause blockage and they likely wouldn’t require as high of pressure as they had before. Instead of having to give your patient a new CPAP titration study in order to determine their needed pressure settings, an APAP machine can simply adjust and change pressures with their new needs.
