* '''APAP''' or '''AutoPAP''' (Automatc Positive Airway Pressure) automatically ''titrates'', or tunes, the amount of pressure delivered to the patient to the minimum required to maintain an unobstructed airway on a breath-by-breath basis by measuring the resistance in the patient's breathing, thereby giving the patient the precise pressure required at a given moment and avoiding the compromise of fixed pressure.

* '''VPAP''' or '''BiPAP®''' (Variable/Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) provides two levels of pressure, one for inhalation (IPAP) and a lower pressure during exhalation (EPAP)
