Sounds like they don’t want to pay for CPAP‘s anymore. Also, they resented them during Covid. When I caught the Chinese flu at the very beginning, right as it was getting talked about, my CPAP got me through. She wants CPAP pressures dropped so low that they don’t prevent sleep apnea completely. I know there are many others, but I am one of the people that had my life changed by a CPAP.

Me too, my start was a stint in hospital and a prescription for a ventilator. My sleep study put my obstruction above the range for CPAP so I use a SW algorithm that assures volume. This means pressure is raised as required to ventilate my lungs. This means pressure is sometimes above the levels in this study but it drops the pressure when ventilation is easier.

The machine is called a Trilogy 100
I believe it has improved my sleep and prolonged my life
So it goes
