About

    Positive airway pressure (PAP) is a type of therapy used to treat obstructive sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions. It involves the use of a machine to deliver a continuous flow of pressurized air into the airways, which helps to keep them open and prevents episodes of apnea and snoring during sleep. PAP therapy is typically administered through a mask worn over the nose and/or mouth, and can be adjusted to suit the individual's specific needs. It is a highly effective and non-invasive treatment option for those suffering from sleep-disordered breathing.
