CPAP is continuous positive airway pressure. It may be prescribed by a doctor to treat a disorder such as sleep apnea. Usually a person has to undergo a sleep study before CPAP will be ordered. CPAP helps by keeping the airways open and improves breathing. Machines for home use include the Respironics CPAP machine. Its important to understand how to set or adjust the pressure on your unit. Get familiar with the machine. Locate the on and off button and the two user buttons, which allow you to move into different menus. Find the ramp button, which you use to select the setting you want when in a particular menu. There is also a display screen on the front of the unit where you can view your settings. Plug the power cord of the Respironics CPAP unit into the wall outlet. Pull the other end of the power cord out of the back of the machine. Hold down the two user bottons on the front of the machine for a few seconds while simultaneously plugging the power cord into the back of the machine.
