Updated June 15, 2016. Continuous positive airway pressure, commonly called CPAP, is a type of respiratory support, or mechanical ventilation, used in adult and pediatric patients. In premature babies, CPAP is delivered through a set of nasal prongs or through a small mask that fits snugly over a babyâs nose.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are used to maintain an open airway in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. The machine functions by blowing pressurized air into the airway via mask at a setting determined by sleep study and prescribed by a physician.
