CPAP-or Continuous Positive Air Pressure units are medical grade breathing devices meant to assist with breathing patients who have sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea is a medical condition manifesting through the temporary loss of breath throughout the night. The role of the CPAP machine is to draw inside environmental air through the help of a special fan located inside the device. Then, the machine will humidify the air, pressurize it and deliver it to the patient through the attached mask. The CPAP will pressurize the air to a set level, depending on the prescription of the patient. In general, CPAP machines are capable of pressurizing the air between 4 and 20cm H2O (in increments of 1 or 0.5). In order to buy the best CPAP machine, you will need to present the medical prescription, and besides purchasing the device itself, you will need to invest in the compatible CPAP mask, the humidifier, and other accessories.
When shopping online for CPAP machines, there are several factors you should keep in mind. For example, the total price of your CPAP equipment is of primordial importance. Then, another factor you should consider is the portability of your CPAP equipment. If you are a frequent traveler, you may want to look for a compact size CPAP, which is also FAA, approved for traveling with on a flight. Pre-set alarms, the capacity of the humidifier, ramp time or therapy data tracking also represent factors that should guide you when shopping around for a good sleep apnea machine.
