CPAP titration study
Informed by recognized medical guidance
Overview
A CPAP titration study is a special sleep test that helps find the exact air pressure needed for a CPAP machine to keep your airway open while you sleep. It is used for people with sleep apnea, a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep.
Key facts
- The test is done overnight in a sleep center or sometimes at home with special equipment.
- You will sleep while wearing a CPAP mask connected to a machine that can adjust pressure.
- The result is a prescription for the right CPAP pressure to keep your airway open.
It is a common next step after you are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and your doctor recommends CPAP therapy.
This test is for people diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, especially those who are about to start CPAP treatment or are not getting enough benefit from their current CPAP settings.
