BiPAP Ventilator Machine — What It Is, How It Works & Best in India
A BiPAP ventilator machine is one of the most important home medical devices prescribed for patients with breathing difficulties. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or medical professional — this guide covers everything about BiPAP ventilator machines clearly.
What is a BiPAP Ventilator Machine?
A BiPAP ventilator machine (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) is a non-invasive breathing device that delivers two levels of air pressure through a mask:
IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) — higher pressure when the patient breathes in, to keep the airway open and support inhalation
EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) — lower pressure during exhalation, making it easier and more comfortable to breathe out
How Does the Prisma 30ST BiPAP Ventilator Machine Work?
The Prisma 30ST generates pressurised air using an internal precision blower motor.
Air flows through a breathing circuit to a mask worn on the patient’s face or nose.
Sensors detect when the patient starts to inhale and switch to the higher IPAP pressure.
When the patient starts to exhale, the machine drops to the lower EPAP pressure.
In ST mode, if the patient does not breathe within a set time, the machine automatically delivers a backup breath.
