Bi-level therapy is similar to CPAP therapy however Bi-level offers a few more adjustment possibilities for individuals with more complex cases of sleep disordered breathing.
The CPAP setting delivers a constant stream of airway pressure while you breathe in and out.
Bi-level differs from CPAP by delivering two levels of pressure during the night, a lower pressure when you breathe out and a higher pressure when you breathe in.
