BiPAP
BiPAP is a trademarked acronym of Respironics, Inc., for Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure. Other names for this device include BiLevel, and VPAP. The generic name for this device is a bi-level flow generator.
Like the CPAP, it’s a device which blows air from a machine, through a tube, and into a mask which fits over either the nose or the nose and mouth. Its purpose it to provide a pneumatic splint for your airway.
