The most common form of therapy for Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is Positive Airway Pressure, or PAP, therapy. This consists of wearing a nasal or facial mask during sleep, which is attached by a long flexible hose, to a PAP machine. The PAP machine delivers pressurized, heated, and humidified room air through the mask to your upper airway.
PAP therapy was first used in the 1980s. Since then it has been evidenced by countless testimonials and research articles to often dramatically improve the daytime function and quality of life for patients suffering from Sleep Disordered Breathing or Sleep Apnea.
The Importance of Treatment Initiation
The most critical step with PAP therapy is the initiation and level of support you will get from the Therapeutic Specialists.
Proper treatment pressure, immediate availability of a comfortable system, and good education often define the difference between success and failure.
Successful treatment can be life changing for you and your bed partner. It may also prevent the progression of many chronic diseases that have been linked to Sleep Disordered Breathing.
Ensuring Long Term Success
ASDC provides an integrated PAP therapy initiation and management program. After training and educating patients, we follow through with our therapy adherence program, providing the long-term support needed.
PAP Therapy is initiated immediately after concluding a PAP titration study, and the patient is provided with all required equipment on-site. Afterwards, patients have access to our clinical support team, as needed, to help ensure a successful therapeutic outcome and increased quality of life.
*We are not the only provider of PAP equipment; you do have a choice of where you get your equipment from .
