What is the difference between regular CPAP and travel CPAP machines?

The primary differences between regular CPAP machines and travel CPAP machines lie in size, weight, and noise level. Travel CPAP devices are generally more compact and lightweight, making them easier to carry. However, they tend to be slightly noisier than standard CPAP machines due to their smaller design.
While travel CPAP machines are convenient for trips and long-haul flights, they aren’t ideal for full-time use. Their focus on portability often means sacrificing features like built-in humidifiers, which can impact overall therapy effectiveness.
