Introduction CPAP and BIPAP are methods of helping a person breathe with the use of air pressure. CPAP stands for "continuous positive airway pressure." BIPAP stands for "bi-level positive airway pressure." In both methods‚ air is blown through your nose or mouth and into your air passages to help keep you breathing well. CPAP and BIPAP differ in the amount of pressure that is used to blow air. With CPAP‚ the amount of pressure stays the same while you breathe in and out. With BIPAP the amount of
