Machine: Res-Med Mask Type: Nasal pillows Mask Make & Model: Swift FX & Air fit 30 Humidifier: unsure CPAP Pressure: unsure CPAP Software: Not using software
My husband suffers from MS, Alzheimers, COPD and apnea. He really wants the CPAP to work as he knows how much sharper he is with good sleep - however...during sleep he consistently (like every night) removes his mask after about 2 hours. He is not aware he is doing this - I thought that I should tie his hands together with cable ties ( ) he objects. I've also thought about having him wear gloves. Any other thoughts from the knowledge base would be appreciated.
