CPAP therapy
CPAP Trials and Setups
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea. A trial lets you try therapy at home, with support, before you commit to buying a machine.
Overview
CPAP works by gently delivering air through a mask to keep your airway open while you sleep. Getting the mask, pressure and comfort settings right from the start makes a big difference to how well you sleep on it.
During your trial we fit your mask, set up the machine, and review your therapy data with you. At the end of the trial you can choose the machine that suits you best, and we set it up for long-term use.
