C-PAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or C-PAP is comprised of a mask that delivers positive airflow to the nose and sometimes the mouth during sleep. This device is highly effective and the recommended first line of treatment for severe sleep apnea. However, some patients have a difficult time tolerating this kind of therapy. There are various reasons for C-PAP intolerance, including comfort issues, mask leak, and claustrophobia. C-PAP machines are generally covered by medical insurance and are the gold standard for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
