Understanding BiPAP Therapy

If you or a family member has been advised to use a BiPAP machine, terms such as IPAP, EPAP, pressure support, backup rate and different ventilation modes can initially feel confusing.

BiPAP stands for Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure. Unlike CPAP, BiPAP uses two pressure levels — a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation.

Quick Answer

What Is a BiPAP Machine?

A BiPAP machine is a non-invasive breathing-support device that provides two levels of positive airway pressure.

IP

IPAP

Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure — the higher pressure delivered during inhalation.

EP

EPAP

Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure — the lower pressure used during exhalation.

What Is a BiPAP Machine?

A BiPAP machine is a form of non-invasive ventilation. Air is delivered through tubing to a mask that fits over the nose, or over the nose and mouth.

The difference between IPAP and EPAP is called pressure support.

Most home BiPAP systems include a motor, air filter, tubing and, depending on the model, a humidifier chamber.

How Does a BiPAP Machine Work?

During inhalation, the machine delivers the prescribed IPAP. When the person begins to exhale, pressure falls to the prescribed EPAP.

What About S/T Mode?

Some BiPAP machines include a backup breathing rate. In S/T (Spontaneous/Timed) mode, the machine can provide a breath if the patient’s own breathing does not occur within the programmed interval.

BiPAP vs CPAP: What Is the Difference?

CPAP and BiPAP are both positive-airway-pressure therapies, but their pressure-delivery approach is different.

CPAP
Pressure:
One continuous pressure
Common Use:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Breathing Support:
Maintains airway openness
BiPAP
Pressure:
Separate IPAP and EPAP
Common Use:
Selected respiratory conditions
Breathing Support:
Can provide additional ventilatory assistance

BiPAP is not automatically better than CPAP. The appropriate therapy depends on the patient’s diagnosis, breathing pattern and treatment goal.

Who May Need a BiPAP Machine?

01

Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Selected patients may require bilevel therapy when high CPAP pressures are difficult to tolerate or additional support is needed.

02

COPD

Selected COPD patients with breathing difficulty and carbon dioxide retention may receive non-invasive ventilation.

03

Obesity Hypoventilation

Positive airway pressure may be prescribed when ventilation is inadequate during sleep.

04

Neuromuscular Conditions

Some conditions affecting respiratory muscle strength may require breathing support.

Types of BiPAP Machines & Modes

S Mode Spontaneous breathing with IPAP and EPAP.
S/T Mode Includes a programmed backup respiratory rate.
Auto-BiPAP Adjusts pressure within prescribed limits.
AVAPS Targets a desired tidal volume using pressure support.

Frequently Asked Questions About BiPAP

Can I use a BiPAP machine without a doctor’s prescription?

BiPAP should not be started or pressure settings selected without appropriate medical guidance. A pulmonologist or sleep specialist should determine whether BiPAP is appropriate.

Is BiPAP more effective than CPAP for sleep apnea?

Not necessarily. CPAP is effective for many people with obstructive sleep apnea. BiPAP may be appropriate in particular clinical situations requiring different pressure support.

How long does it take to get used to BiPAP?

Adjustment time varies between people. Mask fit, humidification and comfort settings can influence the adaptation process.

Can BiPAP be used for COPD patients at home?

Selected COPD patients may use BiPAP at home when non-invasive ventilation is considered appropriate by the treating team.

What is the difference between IPAP and EPAP?

IPAP is the higher inspiratory pressure and EPAP is the lower expiratory pressure. Their difference is called pressure support.

Should I rent or buy a BiPAP machine?

It depends mainly on the expected duration of therapy and the patient’s equipment requirements. Compare total cost, support, servicing and included accessories.
