​

What is BiPAP

​

BiPAP (also referred to as BPAP) stands for Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure. A BiPAP machine is a non-invasive form of therapy for patients suffering from sleep apnea. It delivers pressurized air through a mask to the patient's airways. The air pressure keeps the throat muscles from collapsing and reducing obstructions by acting as a splint. BiPAP machines allow patients to breathe easily and regularly throughout the night.

​

For patients with higher pressure strengths, exhaling against the incoming air can feel difficult, as if they're having to force their breathing out.

​

BiPAPs can also be set to include a breath timing feature that measures the amount of breaths per minute a person should be taking. If the time between breaths exceeds the set limit, the machine can force the person to breathe by temporarily increasing the air pressure.

 

BiPAP machines have two pressure settings: the prescribed pressure for inhalation (ipap), and a lower pressure for exhalation (epap). The dual settings allow the patient to get more air in and out of their lungs.

​

BiPAP machine is a small, easily operated machine that helps a person with COPD to breathe. When using the BiPAP machine, a person takes in pressurized air through a mask to regulate their breathing pattern while they are asleep or when their symptoms start to flare.

​

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. This condition makes it more difficult for a person to take air into their lungs. This can be caused due to the fact that their lungs are often less elastic, and so they may find it much harder to breathe deeply, and their lungs can fill up with mucus.

​

The symptoms of COPD often become worse at night, which can stop a person from sleeping and increase their daytime exhaustion. Deep sleep is important for repairing cellular tissues, so getting a good night’s sleep is essential.

​

Who Would Benefit from BiPAP Therapy?

​

For those with breathing restrictions, BiPAP is a safer option. Breathing-restricted individuals can have difficulty having enough oxygen and expelling enough CO2. BiPAP can enhance the exchange of gas, which makes the body function more effectively.For those with breathing restrictions, BiPAP is a safer option. Breathing-restricted individuals

​

• BiPAP machines are often prescribed to sleep apnea patients with high-pressure settings or low oxygen levels.

• BiPAPs are often used after CPAP has failed to adequately treat certain patients.

• BiPAPs can be helpful for patients with cardiopulmonary disorders such as congestive heart failure.

• Often prescribed to people with lung disorders or certain neuromuscular disorders.

​

Patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea may experience the following benefits from BiPAP treatment:

● Lower blood pressure
● Improved focus
● Reduced snoring
● Better sleep quality
● Decreased daytime sleepiness or fatigue
● Better moods

​

Why use a BiPAP?

​

BiPap machine can help you if you have a medical problem that impairs your breathing process. For instance, you might need a BiPap Machine if you have any of the following:

​

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

• Obstructive sleep apnea

• Obesity hypoventilation syndrome

• Pneumonia

• Asthma flare-up

• Poor breathing after an operation

• Neurological disease that disturbs breathing

​

​

How does BiPAP work?

Usually, the BiPAP system has two settings and the effort is controlled when inhaling and
exhaling. The BiPAP may be set to deliver a breath when the person sleeping does not breathe for a programmed period of time. Typically, this is set as a minimum breath or 'back-up rate' which sets a minimum breathe per minute (BPM). This environment is structured such that a fixed breathing frequency per minute is breathed by the patient.

​

​

How do I prepare for BiPap use?

​

Firstly let's get you familiarised with the parts of a BiPap machine. They include:

• A face mask, nasal mask, or nasal plugs

• The machine’s motor, which blows air into a tube

• The tubing that connects the machine’s motor to the mask or plugs

​

Your BiPap machine might also have other features, such as a heated humidifier.

​

If you are buying a BiPap machine for home use, you can contact our experts to know more about it. They will be able to help you pick the type of BiPap machine best suited to your needs. Our experts can also give you instructions about how and when to clean the masks, tubing, and other parts of the machine.

​

Our experts can help you find the best mask - as there are several kinds available in the market. 

​

Before you start BiPap therapy, your machine may need to be calibrated - our experts will be able to help you setup the same. 

​

Using BiPAP Machine for Covid Patients:

​

Position yourself well
Firstly, keep in mind to make sure when you get ready to put on the Bi-PAP machine, your back and neck is well supported and rested. A compromised lying position will just make it harder to keep the machine on for longer.

Make the attendant / Nurse to thoroughly fix it on your face - do not rush 

It is important to fix it thoroughly so that no air escapes through the sides, which usually happens. So make sure you get the mask on and wait for a minute or two to ensure that the side Velcro’s tightly fixed in place. If you feel the air is escaping, ask them to tighten it more.

Breathe in and out through nose
Bi-PAP machines leave out air in a rushed manner and it’s best to keep mouth shut. Breathe in and out from the nose only to make it easier to handle.

​

Stay still as much as possible
Close your eyes or position your phone or reader at an elevated point so your mask stays tightly around the head. It’s ideally best to record the starting time and then close your eyes and breathe away. But if you wish to distract yourself, position a book or reader or phone in a manner that it doesn’t require you to move much.

​

Difference between BiPAP and CPAP

The question that arises here is why we can’t simply use a CPAP instead of a BiPAP for
treating; following are some of the major differences between the two:
● While CPAP enables a person to inhale by using one type of pressure, BiPAP lets a
person both inhale and exhale by using two separate pressures. For BiPAP devices,
exhaling is much smoother than for CPAP machines.
● In terms of size, CPAP machines are smaller as compared to the BiPAP ones. People
generally prefer BiPAP for their COPD concerns.

​

​

What to expect if you use a BiPAP machine

​

If you’re advised to use a BiPAP machine, a specialist will typically help you set up the machine for you - we at Healthy Jeena Sikho always provide you with an expert at the times of calling - to fix a dedicated expert for you.

 

The BiPAP machine needs to be calibrated and the settings adjusted according to your prescribed treatment by the doctor.

​

Our healthcare expert will help you understand what to expect when using your BiPAP machine at home, and how to use it the right way.

​

Depending on the condition it’s being used for, you might be asked to use it all the time, some of the time, or only when you sleep. It’s important to follow these instructions and to use it as your doctor or healthcare provider instructs you to.

Chronic Diseases that Require Oxygen Therapy

​

Some chronic conditions requiring long-term oxygen concentrator uses are:

​

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):

​

COPD affects around 16 million people, but an oxygen concentrator can be an effective treatment. When you have COPD, you have chronic lung damage which makes it difficult for your lungs to absorb enough oxygen. As a result, you can have difficulty breathing, and oxygen therapy through a concentrator can help.

​

Cystic fibrosis:

​

You inherit this life-threatening condition. It causes digestive system and lung damage. It’s a rare condition that affects the body’s cells responsible for producing mucus, sweat and digestive juices. The fluids are changed which result in a stickier, thicker solution that plugs the ducts, tubes, and passageways of the individual infected.

​

Sleep Apnea:

​

Sleep Apnea is a sleeping disorder that can be serious and cause the individual’s breathing to sporadically stop and start during their sleep. Usually, treatment for this condition is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), weight loss and physical exercise, though some people with sleep apnoea may require oxygen therapy
