Difference between CPAP & BiPAP

# 🛌 CPAP vs. BiPAP

## What’s the Difference? Explained by LifePlus

When it comes to treating **sleep apnea and other breathing disorders**, two of the most commonly prescribed machines are **CPAP** and **BiPAP**. But what’s the difference, and which one is right for you?

Let’s decode it in simple terms.

—

## 💨 What is a CPAP Machine?

**CPAP** stands for **Continuous Positive Airway Pressure**.

It delivers a **constant, steady stream of air** at a fixed pressure to keep your airways open throughout the night.

### ✅ Best for:

* **Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)** (mild to moderate)
* Loud snorers
* People new to sleep therapy

—

## 🔁 What is a BiPAP Machine?

**BiPAP** stands for **Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure**.

Unlike CPAP, BiPAP delivers **two levels of air pressure**:

* **Higher pressure while inhaling (IPAP)**
* **Lower pressure while exhaling (EPAP)**

This makes it **more comfortable**, especially for those who find it hard to exhale against constant pressure.

### ✅ Best for:

* **Moderate to severe OSA**
* **Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)**
* **COPD or lung disorders**
* Patients who can’t tolerate CPAP
