Does anyone have suggestions on where to get emergency Cpap supplies? Any information would be very helpful. I think it would be beneficial if ERs carried extra masks for emergency situations. For many of us, our Cpap can be a life of death situation. To fall asleep without it is to risk not waking up. I find this so frustrating. Even with one day shipping I have no way to sleep tonight or tomorrow.

google "dme city state" whatever city you are near.

for example-

Yah, sure, here's your "emergency" cpap mask, we'll send you a bill for $12,427.38 for it.

Brilliant.

That's why your have spares, of everything. take advantage of that 'one day shipping' *before* you need something.

Get spares of everything at the soonest opportunity.
It is YOUR therapy.
And your responsibility.

I really think that this is an important issue. The rest of the world needs to understand that a non-working CPAP is a true emergency! It's not something that can wait a day or two!

"The rest of the world"
Count me out!
The rest of us have our hands full taking care of OUR OWN damn business.

I have heard (no personal experience) that Truck stops often stock CPAP supplies because so many truckers have to use CPAPs.

This is an old article so it may no longer be true, but it's a place to look under desperation: http://www.sleepreviewmag.com/2013/01/r ... f-america/

well, the latest poster to ask about "emergency" supplies either found them or is a troll or is dead.

he never came back to see any answers.

It would be nice to hear about 24/7 sources for emergency cpap supplies.
Personal, current knowledge would be appreciated.
The problem is the vast assortment of PROPRIETARY supplies.
The only possible source would be an all-night, all-WEEKEND DME.
It simply would not be practical for most places to carry anything but plain hoses,
as that is the only commonly universal part.
Best to have your own stashed away, ready for Cousin Murphy to drop in.
Anything beyond that would be wishing for the cpap fairy.
