Bipap Machine

Listing ID #3729912

BiPAP is a breathing apparatus that helps people get more air into their lungs. With the development of BiPAP, air delivered through a mask can be set at one pressure for inhaling and another for exhaling. This makes BiPAP much easier for users to adapt to and also allows neuromuscular disease sufferers to use the device. Because of these dual settings, BiPAP allows people to get more air in and out of the lungs without the natural muscular effort needed to do so. BiPAP has been found to be especially useful for patients with congestive heart failure and lung disorders, especially those that result in above normal levels of carbon dioxide. Sufferers of atelectasis will also benefit from a BiPAP. Atelectasis is when all or part of a lung collapses, and results in the loss of the ability of air sacs at the furthest reaches of the lungs to expand. The BiPAP should be covered by medical insurance. It is also possible to purchase your own machine. If that's not feasible, you also have the option to rent a BiPAP from a respiratory care company through an agreement with which you end up owning the machine.
