CPAP & Oxygen Care

We offer the most up-to-date CPAP machines for the treatment of sleep apnea. CPAP, which stands for “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure,” is the most effective therapy for sleep apnea in the medical marketplace today. Our CPAP machines are the newest models with built-in heated humidifiers and are compact, extremely quite and easy to use.

 

Each of our CPAP machines comes with a mask, which is worn during sleep periods. This mask is connected to a pump that gently opens the nasal passages at pressures that are high enough to overcome airway obstructions while breathing. With the newer CPAP’s the pressure actually drops with exhalation, making it easier to breathe. 

 

The effect on sleep apnea symptoms as well as on overall sleep quality is instantaneous. Our patients usually report waking up the morning after their first CPAP therapy feeling like a completely new person.

 

Once therapy has been initiated, your CPAP supplies such as masks, filters, nasal pillows and tubing must be changed regularly to insure optimum performance. Our personalized follow-up care programs make it easy for you to get the supplies you need to remain in full compliance with your CPAP therapy.

 

Every time you breathe your body releases carbon dioxide and then replaces it with oxygen. If your breathing capabilities are inadequate because of either illness or injury, the oxygen levels in your blood decrease. At this point you may require supplemental oxygen as provided by oxygen therapy.

 

Oxygen therapy is a vital component in respiratory care. The prescribed oxygen is inhaled along with normal air. Breathing prescribed oxygen therefore increases the amount of oxygen in your blood. The increased oxygen levels fuel the brain and muscle cells to help ease your heart’s workload. Increased oxygen levels can also improve your breathing, mood, memory and quality of sleep.

 

If you suffer from oxygen deficiency, oxygen therapy can help you turn your life around. And the Sleep Institute is here to assist you by providing leading-edge stationary and portable oxygen therapy concentrators.

 

Oxygen concentrators are machines powered by electricity that remove nitrogen from air. Unlike oxygen tanks and cylinders, concentrators never require refilling. We offer small, extremely quiet nocturnal oxygen concentrators as well as lightweight travel battery operated concentrators. And to help you get the most from your oxygen therapy we also carry a wide assortment of the latest, most comfortable oxygen mask styles designed by top manufactures.
