What should I know?

I just went for a sleep study last night and they tested me to get the right pressure on a cpap machine. what should I know about c pap machines an there use.

There is a good bit you should know to be informed from why you are put on the machine, how to choose the proper masks, about the filters, etc. So I found some websites for you that will cover all of this. Also, your doctor or the technician who gives you the machine should also thoroughly educate you regarding it.
