Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this (e-book/paperback edition) to help all of the people out there with a CPAP machine, or in the process of getting a CPAP machine. I have been working for over 20 years with CPAP patients and their families. I have been fortunate to setup over 1000 patients in their home, my office, and on occasion in the hospital. In my opinion there are numerous patients that are not getting the correct initial therapy, or maintenance therapy they deserve during their treatment of their sleep apnea. The primary reasons, I have noticed are the following: 1) There are many home equipment companies that just want to make a buck; patient care is not there number one goal. 2) There are companies that don't have the experienced staff needed to manage CPAP therapy. Minimally, a trained Respiratory Therapist or Registered Nurse is the only person(s) that should be setting up your CPAP. 3) Lots of the patients do not completely understand how dangerous untreated sleep apnea can be. (Some) primary doctors are not explaining the seriousness of sleep apnea effectively, or unable to explain it to the patients in a manner they (the patient) would truly understand.
