It does not involve drugs or surgery. A bedside device gently delivers pressurised air via a mask to keep your upper airway open.

Man with CPAP machineTreatment options:

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) provides one constant air pressure all through the night

Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) automatically varies pressure through the night. It actively responds to the continuous changes in your upper airway
