A sleep specialist may opt to prescribe a person with obstructive sleep apnea an APAP machine for several reasons.
- APAP vs CPAP - Sleep FoundationWhile APAP and CPAP machines are both types of PAP therapy used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, they differ in the levels of air pressure they release. CPAP releases air at a fixed rate, while APAP releases air at a rate that changes in response to the sleeper’s needs.

- APAP Machines: A Guide to Treatment - Sleep FoundationAPAP machines treat sleep apnea by opening airways with continuous air pressure. While CPAP provides a fixed pressure, APAP adjusts the pressure automatically based on your breathing patterns. APAP devices have sensors to measure breathing resistance and varies airflow accordingly.
- APAP vs CPAP: Sleep apnea treatments explained - ResMedBy constantly measuring how much resistance is present in your breathing on a breath-by-breath level, APAP technology knows whether to decrease pressure when your upper airway is stable, and increase pressure when it senses an airway event (such as an apnea, a hypopnea, flow limitation or snoring).
