Yet another PRO AUTO Article

..."Patient compliance is key to the success of a CPAP therapy," says the analyst. "An auto-setting portable CPAP with an integrated humidifier and a patient-friendly mask may lead to optimum patient comfort, resulting in compliance with the therapy."

All very true.

If they would also educate the patient or involve the patient in understanding what is going on there would be more compliance. Why would you have a machine that had a smart card place, and not have a card?

I have talked to hundreds of people over the last six months, who quit, and didn't know there are OTHER masks, too MUCH pressure, or not enough pressure. Just quit. No one told them that the alternative could be DEATH. Never went back to the Doctor.

Comfort is number ONE with me, and education of my problem is next.
