CPAP / BiPAP Device Check and Titration

CPAP / BiPAP Device Check and Titration in Istanbul: overview

CPAP is a positive airway pressure device that keeps the airway open in sleep apnoea; the right pressure and a well-fitting mask are essential for treatment to work. In a titration study, the pressure is adjusted over one night in the sleep laboratory to find the setting that suits you. If you bring your own device, its recorded usage hours, residual apnoea index and mask leak are reviewed, and solutions are suggested for problems such as dry mouth, mask leaks or difficulty getting used to the device. Guidance is also given on choosing a device and mask.

Who is it for?

A CPAP check suits people newly diagnosed with sleep apnoea who need the right pressure, people already using CPAP or BiPAP who still feel tired or snore, and people with mask leaks, dry mouth or difficulty tolerating the device.
