Difficulty in night breathing is a prevalent yet overly disregarded health issue in India. Shortness or breath, frequent awakenings, choking, low oxygen levels in the sleep are experienced by many patients. Doctors usually prescribe an effective respiratory support machine, such as a BiPAP machine, to be used at home when the mentioned symptoms do not go away.
The mechanism of operation of a BiPAP machine is based on providing two air pressure levels, high pressure during inhalation (IPAP) and low pressure during exhalation (EPAP). The two-fold pressure mechanism leaves the breathing body with less pressure to put in efforts, and it is, therefore, particularly useful in patients who experience constant pressure by CPAP machine.
The BiPAP machines are frequently prescribed on the basis of severe sleep apnea, COPD, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, neuromuscular disorders, and post-COVID lung weakness in India. Home-use BiPAP apparatus is small, silent, and long-term therapy is intended to be used when a patient is not in a hospital.
Home users are closely concerned with safety. BiPAP machines in India can be safely used on a daily basis and on a long-term basis when prescribed by a doctor and configured with the appropriate levels of pressure. Majority of the contemporary machines are fitted with safety alarm system, humidifiers, and treatment data monitoring to stabilize consistent treatment and comfort.
The patients are not supposed to adjust pressure settings by themselves. A sleep test or breathing test will assist the physicians in deciding whether to use BiPAP and how much time it will be needed daily. Effectiveness is improved further by wearing masks properly and washing them regularly.
A BiPAP device is used to help patients in India sleep comfortably at home with respiratory pressure support of dual pressure and is widely applied in sleep apnea, COPD, and post-COVID recovery.
