    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. :)

    Hi @MarkIngleton

    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.
