Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hey , You don't usually have to stay 2 nights for a sleep study, usually one night and part of the day. Been there done that. The machine you are talking about is probably a BIPAP machine. They are now smaller, portable and provide positive pressure to keep the airway open. It can come in a nasal pillows or a mask that fits over the nose tightly. This is what my husband Larry a respiratory therapist says. He says the nasal pillows are more comfortable to some people. Hope this helps, write more if ya need more info. The sleep study I had was a joke, too noisy! Hugs, S. Re: Re: Re: Rotating medications?
