What is the difference between a bi pap and a c pap machine?
the bi pap has oxygen added to the air where as the c pap has just compressed room air I am very sorry to have to do this, but the above answer is incorrect. I am fully aware of the function of bi-pap and c-pap systems, as I live with one every night, and have researched the technologies in depth. A c-pap machine provides a constant air pressure to the mask of the wearer, whether they are breathing in or out. A bi-pap machine provides one pressure on inhale (higher pressure) and another (lower pressure) on exhale. Either of these machines can be used with or without oxygen added. Likewise, either machine can be run with added humitity. A c-pap machine is more difficult to get used to than a b-ipap macchine, since you are exhaling against a greater pressure with a c-pap unit. A bi-pap unit senses your breathing, and reduces its pressure as soon as you start exhaling. I use a bi-pap machine, and it is very comfortable to use. I have never been able to get used to a c-pap machine; I can't exhale against the pressure. The main reason why everyone doesn't use a bi-pap machine is the cost - thousands of dollars for a bi-pap machine versus hundreds of dollars for a c-pap machine.
What is the difference between a CPAp and BI-PAP machine?
My daughter-in-law has just been diagnoised with ALS and and been put on a 'breathing machine" a BI-Pap. I have sleep apnea and us a C-Pap machine at night, what is the difference brtween the two?Gerry CunninghamA C Pap is usually used for mild/moderate sleep apnea. It holds the throat open to prevent it from collapsing during sleep.A Bi Pap has 2 pressures: a stronger one while breathing in, a lesser one during expiration. It's often used for severe obstructive sleep apnea, or for people that have trouble maintaining oxygenation on their own. Hope this helped.
