CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and is basically a machine that is used in apnea treatments, more precisely, for home treatments.
It proved to be so effective in pumping air at a certain pressure that now CPAP machines are used even in hospitals, as a form of ventilation. While you sleep, your muscles relax, causing problems in the upper airway and reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood. All these will interfere with your sleep pattern and cause sleep apnea.
The CPAP device will pump compressed air in the airway and therefore help you breathe much better and even reduce or eliminate that awful and extremely loud snoring.
The REMstar CPAP device can be found as a full face mask, a nasal pillow or a nose mask. Still, no matter how effective and easy to use this mask may seem, you can not just buy it and put it on. A sleep physician is the only person that can say if you can wear the CPAP mask and what amount of pressure is required for you.
These are the some of the basic info regarding the CPAP machines and how they work. Following, we will discuss about REmstar CPAP devices, what features they have, who manufactures these products and why use them.
The Remstar CPAP machine is developed by the Philips Company and is part of the Philips Respironics brand.
