A quick google search provided the following:

A CPAP machine is used to treat sleep apnea by giving continuous positive airway pressure and is specifically used to treat sleep apnea.
A BiPAP machine is an apparatus that is used to help people inhale more air into their lungs and can be used to treat a variety of breathing disorders.
