1. A mask for treating a patient suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, the mask adapted to be connected to an air flow generator and constructed to cover at least the nostrils of the patient, the mask comprising:

  • a cavity in fluid connection with the nostrils of the patient;

    an inlet pressure port constructed to be attached to the air flow generator;

    the inlet pressure port fluidly connected to the cavity via an inlet pressure one-way valve that is constructed to allow air flow from the air flow generator to the cavity with little resistance and blocking air flow from the cavity to the air flow generator;

    the inlet pressure port fluidly connected to an expiration valve, wherein the expiration valve is fluidly connected to the cavity and to the outside of the mask, the expiration valve restricts air flow from the cavity to the outside of the mask, wherein the restriction is dependent on the pressure of air in the inlet pressure port; and

    an inspiration one-way valve fluidly connected to the cavity and to the outside of the mask, the inspiration valve is constructed to allow air flow from the outside of the mask into the cavity with little resistance and blocking air flow from the cavity to the outside of the mask.
