Dear my friends,
I would like to know about CPAP Device in medicine. And I have some question about it.
What is application of this device and how works it?
What parameters are important for it?
I am very thank you for your early reply.

CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine is a device that delivers air at a constant elevated pressure to your airways usually during hours of sleep.It usually uses face masks or nasal prongs to deliver the air.
The most usual need for this is for a person who has OSA or obstructive sleep apnea
How does it work- well people with sleep apnea particularly the type that results from obesity loose airway muscle tone in deep sleep and this causes the airways to shut down and the oxygen saturaton in the blood to drop dangerously… the CPAP machine allows increased air pressure to be delivered to prevent these episodes.

Parameters? The settings are decided by an MD certified in sleep medicine (usually a pulmonologist or a neurologist) during a CPAP titration study.It takes into consideration several issues …how you tolerate different masks..if you need supplimental Oxygen or not etc. It is a very specialised field and you should follow recommendations form your sleep MD.
