Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a type of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) ventilation that uses a constant air pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to keep the airway open and provides respiratory support to a person with either upper airway obstruction or respiratory failure.
CPAP is typically used by people who have breathing problems, such as sleep apnea.
