What is CPAP/BiPAP management?

Restful Solutions provides CPAP/BiPAP management as a treatment for sleep apnea. This involves the maintenance of machine settings and supplies via prescription orders with medical supply companies. 

CPAP

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is a machine that delivers air pressure via a mask while you sleep. The pressure is enough to keep your upper airway open, preventing snoring and disrupted breathing in people struggling with sleep apnea. 

BiPAP

BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) is a breathing device that’s similar to CPAP. It provides more pressure during inhalation than exhalation. 

What can CPAP/BiPAP management address?

Candidates for CPAP/BiPAP management are those with obstructive sleep apnea who struggle with nighttime breathing and getting enough sleep because of their condition. Signs and symptoms of sleep apnea include:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Waking up throughout the night 
• Irritability
• Problems paying attention during the day
• Fatigue
• Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep
• Loud snoring
• Morning headaches
• Waking up with a dry mouth
• Gasping for air during sleep

If you’ve tried other sleep apnea treatments without success, CPAP/BiPAP management may be the solution for you.

Is CPAP/BiPAP management right for me?

If you already use a CPAP or BiPAP machine, the Restful Solutions team can help you manage your treatment plan. If you haven’t yet tried CPAP/BiPAP treatment, your specialist discusses your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle habits, and goals. 

They may suggest home sleep testing using innovative WatchPAT® technology, lab testing, or other diagnostic tests to create a treatment plan that’s best suited for your personalized needs.

What should I expect during CPAP/BiPAP management?

The Restful Solutions team monitors your CPAP or BiPAP treatment routinely to ensure the best outcome and high-quality, long-lasting sleep. They can refill your prescriptions and help maintain optimal machine settings whenever necessary. Follow up with them routinely to ensure an effective outcome or if you have concerns or questions about your treatment plan.

It’s also helpful to establish a regular sleep routine, maintain an ideal weight, eat nutritious foods, and get regular exercise. Avoid caffeine, smoking, alcohol, high-intensity exercise, and large meals before bed.
