CPAP Management Program
One of the most common types of treatment (and generally considered as the most effective treatment) for obstructive sleep apnea is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). A CPAP device delivers a gentle stream of air through the nose at a pressure to the back of the throat in keeping the airway open and preventing apneas.
Centurion is a full-service CPAP provider offering independent advice for prospective and existing CPAP users. If proper education and encouragement are not provided at the outset, it is easy for CPAP patients to become overwhelmed and frustrated with treatment, resulting in poor compliance. As various studies have demonstrated that the first month of CPAP treatment is crucial to long term compliance, Centurion has developed a unique CPAP management program. It offers comprehensive patient education at the commencement of treatment, intensive monitoring for problems and compliance during the first month and regular follow-ups thereafter through clinic visits and phone calls. We have a team of specially trained CPAP consultants who provide patients with guidance throughout the entire process.
CPAP compliance for sleep apnea patients is important in maintaining good health and preventing the onset of more serious consequences such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, arrhythmia, neurocognitive dysfunction and increased mortality.
By choosing an integrated CPAP provider, you will receive coordinated treatment as your Centurion doctor and CPAP Consultant are in constant communication, which ultimately maximises long term CPAP compliance.
