CPAP is a device that can be used during sleep at home or in the hospital, which delivers pure air to the nose and throat and is great for treating sleep apnea, snoring and even respiratory failure.
Generally, this 'mask' is indicated when the other treatments for snoring, such as thinning, using nasal strips or sprays for better breathing have not worked.
CPAP price
The price of CPAP varies between 1, 000 and 4, 000 reais and the monthly rent costs approximately 350 reais.
Types of CPAP
The main types of CPAP include:
- Nasal CPAP: CPAP is less uncomfortable, throwing air only through the nose;
- Facial CPAP: used when it is necessary to throw air also through the mouth.
Depending on the type of snoring and sleep apnea, the pulmonologist will indicate the type of CPAP most appropriate for each patient.
How to use a CPAP
To use the CPAP, simply place the device following the instruction manual and switch on the device.
