Learning About Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) | Kaiser Permanente Health Article | Kaiser Permanente Error There's a chat in progress. Print  Learning About Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) Skip Navigation Top of the page What is BPAP? BPAP stands for bilevel positive airway pressure. (You might also hear it called BiPAP.) It's a machine that gives you air through your nose, mouth, or both. It uses different pressures when you breathe in and out. Higher pressure is used when you breathe in. It may be used with a mask that covers your nose and mouth (sometimes called a full face mask) or a mask that covers only your nose. It could also use a nasal pillow that covers only the openings of your nose. Why is it used? BPAP is used to treat people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other conditions that make it hard to breathe, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or heart failure. Some people with OSA use it instead of CPAP. It's sometimes used instead of a machine that requires a breathing tube in your windpipe. How can you care for yourself at home? Be sure the mask, nasal mask, or nasal pillow fits well. If needed, see if the doctor can adjust the pressure of your BPAP. Some have air pressure that adjusts on its own. If your nose or mouth is dry: Set the machine to deliver warmer or wetter air. Use a room humidifier or raise the room temperature. Follow the directions for cleaning the humidifier. Try using a mask that covers your nose and mouth, if you're not already doing so. Try heated tubing. If your nose is runny or stuffy, talk to your doctor about using a decongestant medicine or steroid nasal spray. Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label. Do not use the medicine longer than the label says. Your doctor may be able to help you with other problems like swallowing air, gas pain, or bloating. You can also get help with claustrophobia. Talk to your doctor if you're still having problems. You may be able to try a different mask or make other changes to help you sleep through the night. If these things don't help, you might try a different type of machine. Note : Have a plan to take your equipment on trips or in case of an emergency where you would lose power or need to leave your home for a period of time.
