Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy, commonly called Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, works by delivering pressurised air through your airway, keeping it open and preventing sleep apnoea from occurring. All types of PAP therapy usually take the form of a machine or device. The machine is connected to a mask via a tube, and the mask is worn by the sleep apnoea patient to deliver the air generated by the machine.
