APAP
(only point 2 AutoCPAP)
In APAP mode (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure), the
point 2 automatically controls the therapy pressure in
relation to the respiratory events occurring. The device
is equipped with a special sensor system that can reli-
ably distinguish between obstructive apnea (airways
are closed) and central sleep apnea (respiratory arrest
with open airways). Obstructive apnea can be cor-
rected with an automatic increase in pressure. Central
sleep apnea automatically results in a drop in pressure.
