{"product_id":"2940149188208","title":"My Little CPAP Book","description":"What does it mean when they say you have stopped breathing twelve times an hour? How do they know this from your sleep study? How does that resistance when you breathe out actually help keep your airway open? Many questions like these may never have been explained fully leaving you wondering why you are wearing the mask and if it worth making it work. The company issuing you your supplies may have told you quite a bit and then you promptly forgot 85% of it. After all, you have sleep apnea and a poor short term memory is part of the problem for most. Many were told very little and have struggled. Regardless, everyone could use a book to explain it all. Years of questions from patients are answered in simple, small and easy to read chapters. This book was meant to be easily understood without boring you tears. Trade secrets are now out in the open leveling the playing field for all. Graphs of downloads with explanations are provided. Insurance billing codes for each CPAP item is listed therefore you may now call your insurance and ask, \"If I have THIS insurance and go to THIS company, what is the insurance negotiated rate?\" One DME is often cheaper than another. Then again, the cheaper one may not have the level of service you require. Should you buy your supplies online? For people with high deductibles or bad insurance, absolutely! How much will you have to pay using your insurance? How do you get a machine off Craigslist and have a DME check it and place your settings on it? What are the current masks available? All of the ones I have worked with are listed leaving the obscure ones out. It is best to go to the company website because they have great pictures and their own descriptions. What are the pros and cons of each mask? How do you know which one is best for you? What should you do, expect or even insist upon during a mask fitting? Is it helping you? A list of what to look for to know if it is working is beneficial in that you establish goals and expectations. Most people find it reassuring and motivating when they review this list and find, gradually over time, that their health and well being has improved. If it hasn't, maybe the mask or settings are not right. There are many times I have seen patients on straight pressure machines with inadequate pressures or on masks that are not working for them. Auto PAP has the average number of apneas per hour in the information menu easily accessible in the menu on the screen of your CPAP machine. What should you expect from Rover the dog when you leave the mask out on the pillow? Will Ninja kitty pounce on the tubing leaving little holes? How often should you clean the mask or the cushion, with what soap and is soaking in vinegar really necessary? Should you take your CPAP with you to the hospital? Will the airport allow you to carry on your CPAP unit and is it necessary to have a copy of your CPAP prescription? Can children wear CPAP? What if you have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? These questions and more are answered in one little CPAP book. Ensure your success in once and for all getting a good night sleep.","brand":"Christina Goodno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084652101872,"sku":"2940149188208","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149188208_p0.jpg?v=1763713189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149188208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
