If i have the coronavirus, will my cpap be helpful for my breathing? or could cpap cause the coronavirus to get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: The CPAP machine should be used if you are suffering from sleep apnea. Bilevel devices can reported be used by people who have COVID 19 and need higher pressures. If you have COVID 19 and use your CPAP machine there is an increased risk of transmitting disease to others.
