Difference between bi-pap and c-pap???

I am wondering what a bi-pap is? Just curious.

Annette, A c-pap delivers continuous pressure at one level. A bi-pap delivers 2 different pressure levels: one when you inhale and one when you exhale. For instance, my bi-pap is set for pressure of 13 when I inhale and pressure of 10 when I exhale. Although I didn't notice a difference when I changed from the c-pap to bi-pap, I'm sure it's easier to exhale against the lower level of pressure. Does that answer your question? I've been using a machine for 6 months today, and I sleep wonderfully every night. What a difference it makes for me! Kathy

Thank you so much for posting this info. I never knew that there was even a bi-pap machine out there and I'm been using the c-pap for about 2 months now.

Thanks for the question and the info. Greatly appreciated. Carol Spain
