Start Your CPAP Journey
- Why CPAP therapy?
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective, non-surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and considered the first-line treatment. In OSA, breathing is interrupted when your airway collapses, and this can happen up to 60 times an hour as you sleep. A CPAP machine delivers a constant stream of pressurized air to help keep your airway open, thus preventing apnea episodes. Left untreated, OSA can lead to severe cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic complications.
CPAP therapy starts working almost immediately and you can experience a noticeable difference within two weeks. People on CPAP therapy report better sleep, less headaches, no longer feel sluggish the next day and can better focus. Daily CPAP therapy can also reduce snoring.
- Choose your machine.
The first step is choosing the right machine. Features to consider include sound levels, ramp features, and Bluetooth compatibility for data collection and analysis.
There are several types of machines. Standard CPAP machines deliver a fixed pressure throughout the night. Auto CPAP machines auto adjust the minimum pressure needed to keep the airway open. Travel CPAP machines are lightweight and compact, designed to deliver sleep therapy on-the-go. Finally, Bi-PAP machines deliver two separate pressures for inhalation and exhalation. Your physician will recommend the best type of machine and appropriate pressure settings for your needs. Auto CPAPs do not require a fixed pressure setting.
Selecting the right machine is vital to the long-term success of your CPAP therapy.
- Select a mask that best fits your lifestyle.
When beginning CPAP therapy, selecting the right mask can mean the difference between compliance and non-compliance. CPAP masks come in different types to provide comfort for a variety of users. Facial contact, a secure seal, and overall comfort are just some of the factors that make CPAP masks unique.
There are three types of CPAP masks. Full face masks cover both the mouth and nose and are most suited for side sleepers, mouth breathers, those with nasal congestion, or those with facial hair. Nasal masks are popular for their low-touch profile, open view, and wide range of fits and sizes. They provide good stability and can come in either gel or silicone cushions. Nasal pillows feature minimal design, are extremely lightweight, and a popular choice for CPAP users. In this style, nasal pillows are inserted directly into the nostrils.
- Add sleep coaching to assist.
The CPAP Shop offers customers the option to connect with a sleep coach when they first begin CPAP therapy. Sleep coaches can help set up equipment, make modifications if needed, troubleshoot leaks or help with mask fittings, and offer tips for a better night’s sleep. Data suggests that people who work with sleep coaches have better compliance rates and long-term success with CPAP therapy.
