Welcome! A New View into the Minds of our CPAP Experts...

Welcome to the "Ask Our Experts" blog written by our on-staff sleep experts here at CPAP Supply USA. Newly created as a compliment to our "Ask the Expert" forum and email programs, this blog is designed to allow our customers to the opportunity to see what is on the minds of the individuals who work with CPAP products, patients, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) research every day. On staff we have Debbie Shirley, a licensed Respiratory Therapist whose primary focus has been on CPAP and OSA for the last 20 years of her career, and our medical director Dr. Doug Puryear, a Board-Certified pulmonologist and sleep physician. Through these two "Sleep Experts", we will be introducing some relevant industry topics, discussing CPAP masks and machines, and talking about the health concerns and statistics surrounding OSA. Sleep therapy and CPAP use are extremely relevant medical topics in the current environment because statistics show that up to 20% of the population could be experiencing a sleep disorder such as OSA (up to 80% of who are presently undiagnosed). Research, product development, and insight into the disorder will continue to mount in quanity and our Community is the place to stay involved with the newest information on sleep apnea.

We hope you enjoy our newest blog, and please remember, if you have a specific question for our Experts, visit the Ask the Respiratory Therapist forum in our Community and Debbie will be available to answer.
