You need a qualified respiratory therapist/pulmonologist/sleep doc to configure it for you (that's part of the prescription, how much pressure you need), otherwise you could really mess up your lungs (too much pressure) or make your apnea worse (too little pressure). They'll also do ongoing monitoring and adjust the levels remotely.
- sithadmin 5y agoNot really true for most people with modern APAP machines. Most direct to consumer providers prescribe APAP these days and don't do a titration study to dial in pressures.
- astura 5y agoSome machines have auto adjusting pressure - my husband has one. I think this is his unit - https://lofta.com/products/resmed-airsense-10 https://lofta.com/products/resmed-airsense-10 >With auto titration technology, the AirSense™ 10 AutoSet™ monitors you- breath by breath and adjusts your therapy delivery to maximize outcomes
- TylerE 5y agoPretty much all newer machines do, and most insurance will happily give you one - at least Blue Cross will, as the cost difference over a plain CPAP is very nominal.
