www.thoracic.orgyou will probably need positive-airway pressure (PAP) support. The types of PAP support include Continuous PAP (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation, most commonly in the form of Bi-level PAP (BPAP). Both are devices that deliver air to you through a mask that you wear anytime you are sleeping or napping. CPAP delivers air at a constant pressure
