Does titration study mean a XPAP machine will be prescribed?

Hello, I am very, very new to all of this. I am scheduled for a CPAP titration
study next week. Since my neurologist ordered this test is it likely he
will be prescribing a machine once he sees the results? The reason I ask is I would like to get a headstart on researching all I can about available equipment so that when I see him two weeks after the test I will be able to ask intelligent questions. Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Cheers

Hi Travis,

Welcome to the forum!

Have you already had a sleep study done, and now this is a titrating test?
If so, yes that means you will be prescribed some type of CPAP machine.

Good for you, for starting your research early.

Keep reading, and coming back!

Hi NeedinZs and thank you for your response. Yes I have already had the initial sleep study done about two months ago. I was just "wired up" with no CPAP equipment.

Welcome to the forum.

Go up to the yellow "lightbulb" icon....."Our Collective Wisdom" and start reading.

There's also the CPAP FAQ button next to it.
Go to https://www.cpap.com (the host site) and start looking at machines....the models and their capabilities.
You don't know yet if you need a CPAP/APAP or Bi-PAP machine, so look them ALL over.

Good luck.
