CPAP Therapy

Your First Appointment

After RANA receives your prescription for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, you will be scheduled for an appointment with a RANA clinician.

RANA needs to understand how you are feeling before your therapy begins, so we can successfully monitor how well your therapy is working for you.

At your first appointment, your clinician will: 

• Review your history
• Review your sleep study results
• Review your CPAP prescription
• Record your blood pressure and oxygen levels
• Have you complete a sleepiness and quality of life score to provide a baseline
• Teach you how to use and care for your equipment
• Fit you with a comfortable mask
• Schedule a follow-up appointment 

RANA’s clinicians provide you with equipment and education, but they also offer support needed to achieve maximum benefit from your treatment. Long-term follow-up is critical to your success on CPAP therapy.
