ResMed® AirSense™ 10 AutoSet™ for Her CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and involves using a home CPAP machine to regulate your breathing during sleep. When your practitioner orders home sleep therapy, Lincare will work with you and your practitioner to ensure that the device and prescribed settings work best for you. Learn more about our sleep therapy options.

While OSA more commonly affects men, cases in women often go undiagnosed. While the symptoms are generally the same in women, their breathing patterns are different. Due to this difference, women undergoing CPAP therapy to treat OSA should discuss with their practitioner the option for auto-adjusting machines designed to fit a woman's apnea patterns. 

CPAP therapy is not a cure, but is a therapeutic process to alleviate your symptoms. The length of time you'll need to use a CPAP device depends on various health and environmental factors. 

CPAP therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every patient is different, and symptoms can worsen based on everything from the severity of your condition, to your sleeping position and how you breathe during sleep. Because of this, you might start seeing an improvement right away, or it could take longer than anticipated. At Lincare, we'll work closely with you to ensure your therapy is as effective as possible and that you receive the maximum benefits from your CPAP treatment.

If you're unsure whether you're getting the optimal benefits of CPAP therapy, it's important to share your experience with your practitioner and our clinical team. You might not notice all the health benefits in your daily life, such as lower blood pressure or reduced snoring. Our goal is to adjust your treatment as needed to ensure you get the maximum health output.
