| Positive Airway Pressure Device (PAP) Clinic |
| Our clinic is available to all of our patients who use any type of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Appointments generally last 15 to 30 minutes. If you are presently using any type of positive airway pressure device, such as a CPAP, APAP, BIPAP or VPAP, it is important that you bring all of your equipment to the appointment. |
| |
| During your visit, we will go over the use of the machine with you. We will download data from your device that will allow us to ensure that your apneas are being effectively treated and determine if there are any objective problems that require changes in treatment or issues that need to be addressed. A registered polysomnographic sleep technologist (RPSGT) will assess your mask for proper sizing and type. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about the use of your equipment and be able to address any of your concerns or usage problems. If you have not initiated sleep device therapy treatment, the RPSGT will work with you regarding your specific issues. |
| |
| The physician or nurse practitioner will evaluate you and determine any further recommendations as clinically appropriate. |
