Hi @MarkIngleton - & welcome to the community. A CPAP machine often helps people that have a certain type of sleep apnoea, & is used during the night, whereas a ventilator is more commonly used for people who are unable to breathe on their own.I hope that helps answer your query, but if not, please say.

Did this clear up your question? Let us know if we can help in any other way.
I've deleted your other post as I think it accidentally posted twice, and have moved this to our disabled people discussion board so others can spot it.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday.Online Community Co-ordinator
