mask worn over the nose or nose and mouth. This constant airflow maintains the airway open and prevents it from contracting when sleeping.
Pressure settings: The equipment is normally programmed to a single, fixed pressure level that is customised to the patient's needs. The pressure keeps the throat muscles from collapsing and restricting the airways.
- Uses: CPAP is the most popular treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines are routinely used to treat sleep apnoea, a condition that causes frequent breathing disruptions while sleeping. Here's an overview of both machines.
1. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Measurement
How it operates:
-Constant airflow. A CPAP machine delivers a continuous flow of air through a mask worn over the nose or nose and mouth. This constant airflow maintains the airway open and prevents it from contracting when sleeping.
Pressure settings: The equipment is normally programmed to a single, fixed pressure level that is customised to the patient's needs. The pressure keeps the throat muscles from collapsing and restricting the airways.
- Uses: CPAP is the most popular treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

My quest to find many publications with prestige to submit to has worked out even better than I thought. I was searching for more publications with more prestige in order to bolster my resume. I truly thought I'd try this for a year and not get published anywhere... maybe if I was lucky... in one of them. And I was OK with that... I was just going to try again the following year, and the year after that, and so on.
