cpap machine
Nocturnal breathing aid
A CPAP machine is a device that delivers continuous positive airway pressure to keep a person's airways open during sleep.
It's the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
The machine connects via tubing to a mask worn over the nose or mouth: He travels with his CPAP machine.
