What is a CPAP machine and how does it work?

Basically, a CPAP machine blows constant pressurized air through your airway and it prevents your throat from collapsing. If you are not familiar with its usage, you should know that CPAP machine is actually easy to use. It is made up of three major parts:

• CPAP Mask. Note that CPAP masks can come in different shapes and sizes, after all, some individuals prefer based on type over another. However, while shapes and sizes may differ to fit face shapes, there are basically three mask type variations that you can choose from. These mask types are full face masks, nasal masks, and nasal pillows. At Welcare Pharmacy & Surgical, we want you to find the right mask type for your personal convenience and level of comfort.
• CPAP Motor. This is essentially like a small compressor. The CPAP motor draws in room temperature air and it is responsible for gently blowing pressurized air into your system. It delivers the right amount of pressure to clear your breathing obstruction. The air intake part of this machine screens out impurities and particulates. Note that this filter that can be replaced for sanitation purposes. Newer CPAP machines also include a small water tank. When switched on, it heats up the water inside and delivers moisture in the air that you breathe.
• CPAP Hose. Basically, the CPAP hose connects the machine and the mask. It carries the pressurized air from the machine to the wearer’s mask. The majority of CPAP hoses are 6 feet in length, however, this can vary according to the machine that you are using.
