What are the elements of a CPAP system?
A CPAP system consists of a blower, tubing, and a specially fitted mask and head gear, all designed to provide a continuous stream of pressurized air and ensure normal breathing and sleep. In addition, a heated humidifier unit may be integrated into the system to warm and moisten the pressurized air flow and enhance patient comfort. The system may also include a supplemental O2 supply to provide an enhanced flow of oxygen.
