KEYS TO CPAP/ BIPAP SUCCESS
KEYS TO CPAP/ BIPAP SUCCESS
CPAP is not a quick fix for your problem. It involves a long-term commitment to improve your sleep and your health. Stay in close communication with your Sleep Physician and your Primary Physician. Ask a lot of questions and seek help when you need it. Use CPAP all night, every night, and for every nap. You will receive the maximum health benefits from CPAP when you use it every time that you sleep. This will also make it easier for your body to adjust to the treatment. Your adjustment to CPAP will be easier if you are able to connect with others who use the same treatment. Ask your Sleep Specialist if there is a support group in your area for people who have sleep apnea, or look for one on the Internet. Change your mask, tubing and headgear on a routine basis. Put this time in your schedule so that you don't forget to do it. Check and replace the filters for your CPAP unit monthly. After your first month of treatment, continue to make a daily commitment to use your CPAP all night, every night and for every nap. CPAP is a long-term commitment, one that could make a dramatic improvement in your quality of life.
