For severe sleep apnea, individuals can use a continuous positive airway pressure device or CPAP device for short.

对于严重的眠呼吸暂停，患者可以使用持续正压呼吸机，即CPAP。

In fact, since the invention of the CPAP, more than 2 million babies with RDS have been saved worldwide.

实际上，因为 CPAP 机器的出现，全球有超过两百万个患有呼吸合征的婴儿重获新生。

Sleep apnea can be reliably treated using CPAP machines, which keep the airway open by delivering a constant stream of pressurized air.

可以靠持续正压呼吸器来眠呼吸中止症，该机器能持续送入增压空气，以保持气道开通。

In August, WHO acknowledged that at least 25 facilities across Ukraine, 17 of which are perennial centers are using the bubble CPAP provided by donors.

8 月，世卫组织承认，乌克兰各地至少有 25 个设施（其中 17 个是常年医中心）正在使用捐助者提供的气泡连续气道正压系统。

Someone invented a device called a CPAP that did just that, and in the United States, the survival rate of preemies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome soared from just one in four to three in four.

有人发明了一种叫做 CPAP 的设备就是这样工作的。在美国，患有呼吸合症的早产儿的存活率从四分之一飙升到四分之三。
