Will bipap work as well as cpap for sleep apnea?

Yes: Bipap is similar to CPAP with two levels of pressure for inhalation and exhalation. CPAP uses one level of pressure for both inhalation and exhalation.

Not always: It depends on the severity of the sleep apnea. Typically patients with sleep apnea have the amount of pressure they need adjsuted during the sleep study. This determines if they need CPAP or bipap some patients with severe sleep apnea, do not breathe well in the day ( they have obesity hypoventilation syndrome) and may have elevated co2 levels, they often need bipap not cpap.

Depends: There are different types of cpap/bipap therapy machines. There is an autopap, nasal pillows, etc. The respiratory/sleep specialist should determine your best options. If you cannot tolerate any of the machines, oral mouthpieces are a viable option.

Potentially: It depends on what your sleep study shows
