How to properly use a CPAP machine
Using a CPAP machine can be easy once you get used to it. Here are some tips to help you get started:
-
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for setting up and using your CPAP machine.
-
Make sure you have the right size mask. A mask that fits poorly can cause leaks, which can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
-
Wash your face and hands before using the CPAP machine.
-
Put on the mask, making sure it fits snugly but comfortably.
-
Turn on the machine. The air pressure should be set at a level that is comfortable for you.
-
Try to relax and breathe normally as the machine delivers air pressure.
-
Use the machine every time you sleep, including naps.
-
Keep the machine clean by washing the mask and hose regularly and replacing the filter as needed.
It may take some time to get used to the machine, but it is important to stick with the treatment. If you have any problems or concerns, be sure to talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist.
