Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that disrupts breathing while asleep. Symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, gasping for air while asleep, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness. There are two different types of sleep apnea— obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). The most common and effective form of treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP therapy. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is utilized during CPAP therapy and helps keep the airways open while the user is sleeping.

Maintaining your CPAP machine is crucial to gaining all the benefits from your CPAP therapy. Every month you should be replacing your mask cushions and CPAP machine filters. Every three months, replace the mask frame and CPAP tubing. Every six months, replace your headgear, chin strap, and humidifier. To ensure that your CPAP machine is working properly, visit our CPAP clinic to speak with knowledgeable respiratory therapists!
