What is BiPAP Machine and how does it work ?

BiPAP stands for Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure. BiPAP machine is used to treat sleep apnea by delivering the pressurized air to the mask attached with the hose. The BiPAP machine has two pressure settings: IPAP (Inspiratory positive airway pressure) & EPAP (Expiratory positive airway pressure).

EPAP is always less than IPAP which makes it easier for the patient to exhale. It is available for both hospital and home use. It is helpful in chronic conditions like restrictive lungs, COPD etc. by keeping the airway open. It will provide the required tidal volume so that the patient will get enough air to breathe. 

Depending on the settings available in the machine and the requirements of the user, the patient gets the best therapy.

Modes available in BiPAP machine

There are various modes available in BiPAP machine which benefits the patients-

- CPAP Mode 

It provides Continuous positive airway pressure only when the machine is in CPAP mode. There is no IPAP or EPAP setting available in this mode

- S mode

S mode stands for Spontaneous mode. When S mode is activated the machine delivers the air pressure spontaneously when the person breathes by himself.

- T mode

In this mode, the user sets the number of breaths needed in a minute. The machine accordingly delivers the air pressure. It means the patient will not trigger the machine but the machine will deliver the exact no. of breaths.

- ST mode

ST mode is a combination of S and T mode. It means, the machine delivers the air pressure as per no. of breaths set by the user as well as when the patient breathes on their own.

Price of different types of BiPAP machine
