Is BiPAP better than CPAP for COPD?
BiPAP is also more efficient at dispersing excess carbon dioxide, which is something that CPAP is unable to do. BiPAP also has the very beneficial ability to adjust the “rise time”, as COPD causes someone to take longer to exhale, while inhaling is very short and quick.
Is it hard to get used to a BiPAP?
Getting used to using a BiPAP may take some time. Although the mask and tubing will feel the same as using a CPAP, the need for higher pressure variations can be challenging at first for some wearers. How do you know if you need BiPAP therapy?
What type of mask should I use with a BiPAP machine?
Any mask that works for a CPAP machine or an APAP machine will work for a BiPAP machine. While it is true that BiLevel machines work differently from CPAP and APAP machines, there’s no change in the type of masks you can choose from. The best mask for your therapy depends on your preference.
