Do they force air in? Wouldn’t that be super uncomfortable
In: Biology
The CPAP machine delivers a constant flow of air through tubing and a mask and into your airway. The CPAP machine creates enough pressure in your airway to hold the tissue open, so your airway doesn’t collapse. The soft, steady jet of air from the CPAP machine creates enough pressure to keep the airway open.
It feels weird but once you get used to the pressure it’s noticeable that it’s easier to breath.
Depending on the machines, some reduce the pressure when you breathe out to make it easier.
