- Positive Airway Pressure (PAP): Continuous positive airway pressure, also called CPAP, is a treatment in which a mask is worn over the nose and/or mouth while you sleep. The mask is hooked up to a machine that delivers a continuous flow of air under pressure, into the nose. This air flow helps keep the airways open so that breathing is regular. CPAP is the most common treatment for sleep apnoea. There's also bi-level positive airway pressure(BPAP) which is similar to CPAP but the air flow changes when you breathe in and then breathe out.
