FAQs

  • What is a BIPAP Machine?
    A BIPAP machine is a medical device that helps people with breathing difficulties by providing two levels of air pressure: a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation. BIPAP stands for "Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure." The machine has a mask that fits over the patient's nose and mouth, which delivers the pressurized air. It is often used to treat sleep apnea, a condition in which a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. BIPAP therapy can also be used to treat other respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and respiratory failure. BIPAP therapy helps to keep the airway open, allowing air to flow more easily into the lungs, and can improve breathing efficiency, oxygen levels, and sleep quality. It is typically prescribed by a physician and requires a prescription to obtain. Explore Our BIPAP/CPAP range

In fact, many people with respiratory conditions such as sleep apnea and COPD use BiPAP therapy at home as a long-term treatment option. Using a BiPAP machine at home allows patients to receive breathing support and improve their oxygen levels while sleeping or resting, which can improve overall quality of life. However, it's important to note that proper use, maintenance, and cleaning of the machine and accessories are essential to ensure safe and effective use. We at Healthy Jeena Sikho provide Bipap & Cpap machine on rental basis at affordable prices. Explore our Bipap/Cpap range
  • Is BiPAP a ventilator?
    BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy and a ventilator are two different types of respiratory support, although they are both used to assist breathing. A ventilator is a medical device that provides mechanical ventilation to people who are unable to breathe effectively on their own. It delivers oxygen-rich air to the lungs through a tube inserted into the patient's airway. Ventilators are typically used in intensive care units (ICUs) for critically ill patients who require invasive respiratory support. On the other hand, BiPAP therapy is a non-invasive type of respiratory support that delivers two levels of air pressure, a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation, to keep the airway open and improve breathing efficiency. It is commonly used to treat sleep apnea, COPD, and other respiratory conditions, and does not require intubation or insertion of a tube into the airway. While both BiPAP and ventilators are used to support breathing, they are used in different situations and for different types of patients. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate type of respiratory support for your specific needs.
  • Does BiPAP increase oxygen levels?
    Yes, BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy can increase oxygen levels in the body by improving breathing efficiency and airflow. BiPAP therapy delivers two levels of air pressure, a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation, which helps to keep the airway open and improve breathing. This can result in better oxygenation of the blood and increased oxygen levels in the body. BiPAP therapy is commonly used to treat sleep apnea, COPD, and other respiratory conditions that can cause low oxygen levels in the body. It is an effective treatment option for improving breathing, reducing the number of breathing interruptions during sleep, and enhancing overall quality of life for people with respiratory difficulties. However, it is important to use the machine correctly and work closely with your healthcare provider to ensure proper settings for optimal results. Explore our Bipap & Cpap range
  • What is an alternative to BiPAP?
    There are several alternatives to BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the underlying respiratory condition. One alternative is CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, which delivers a continuous stream of air pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. CPAP is typically used to treat sleep apnea, which is characterized by periods of interrupted breathing during sleep. Another alternative is oxygen therapy, which involves the use of supplemental oxygen to increase oxygen levels in the body. Oxygen therapy may be used to treat respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, there are several other types of non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation options available, such as High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) therapy, Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and Invasive mechanical ventilation, which may be used depending on the patient's condition and severity. The choice of respiratory support depends on the specific needs of the patient and the underlying respiratory condition. Your healthcare provider can help determine the appropriate type of respiratory support for your specific needs.
  • Does BiPAP improve sleep?
    Yes, BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy can improve sleep quality for people with sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions that can interfere with sleep. Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person experiences repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, which can lead to interrupted sleep, snoring, and other sleep disturbances. BiPAP therapy can help to keep the airway open and prevent these breathing interruptions, resulting in improved sleep quality, reduced snoring, and increased daytime alertness. In addition to sleep apnea, BiPAP therapy may also be used to treat other respiratory conditions that can affect sleep, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis. By improving breathing and oxygenation during sleep, BiPAP therapy can help to enhance overall sleep quality and improve quality of life for people with respiratory difficulties.
  • Can you use BiPAP without water?
    Yes, it is possible to use BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) therapy without water in the humidifier chamber. However, using the humidifier with water can help to increase comfort and reduce the risk of dryness or irritation in the nasal passages, mouth, or throat. The humidifier chamber in a BiPAP machine helps to add moisture to the air being delivered to the patient's airway, which can reduce the risk of dryness, irritation, or discomfort. However, some patients may not require the use of the humidifier, or may prefer to use the machine without it for various reasons such as portability or convenience. It's important to note that if the humidifier is not used with water, the air delivered may be drier and less comfortable, which can increase the risk of side effects such as nasal congestion, dryness, or irritation. It's important to discuss any concerns or questions about using the humidifier with your healthcare provider, who can provide guidance on the appropriate settings and use of the machine.
  • Which is better BiPAP or high-flow oxygen?
    BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) and high flow oxygen are both respiratory therapies that can be used to treat respiratory failure and other respiratory conditions. However, the best therapy for an individual patient depends on the underlying condition, the severity of the respiratory distress, and other factors such as patient comfort, tolerance, and clinical response. In general, BiPAP may be more effective than high flow oxygen for patients with sleep apnea, acute respiratory failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it can provide positive pressure support to keep the airway open and improve gas exchange in the lungs. High flow oxygen therapy, on the other hand, is typically used to treat hypoxemia or low oxygen levels, as it can deliver a high concentration of oxygen directly to the patient's airway and increase oxygenation. In some cases, a combination of BiPAP and high flow oxygen may be used to provide both pressure support and supplemental oxygenation for patients with more complex respiratory needs. Ultimately, the choice of therapy depends on the individual patient's needs and should be determined by a healthcare professional with expertise in respiratory care.
  • Which is better CPAP or BiPAP?
    CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) are both respiratory therapies that can be used to treat sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing is interrupted during sleep. However, they differ in the way they deliver air pressure and the conditions they are used to treat. CPAP delivers a continuous, fixed pressure throughout the breathing cycle, which helps to keep the airway open and prevent apnea events. BiPAP delivers two levels of pressure, one for inhalation and one for exhalation, which can be more comfortable and easier to tolerate for some patients, particularly those with underlying lung conditions. BiPAP is typically used for patients who require a higher level of pressure support, such as those with COPD, respiratory failure, or obesity hypoventilation syndrome. CPAP is generally used for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, although it can also be effective for some patients with severe sleep apnea. Ultimately, the choice of therapy depends on the individual patient's needs and should be determined by a healthcare professional with expertise in sleep medicine. They can evaluate the patient's condition, severity of sleep apnea, and other factors to determine which therapy is most appropriate for them.
