What Should Cancer Patients Consider Before Starting CPAP Therapy?
Before starting CPAP therapy, cancer patients should consider several factors:
Consult with their oncologist and sleep specialist to determine if CPAP is suitable for their condition. Assess the fit and comfort of the CPAP mask, especially if they have head or neck sensitivities. Monitor for any potential complications or side effects, such as skin irritation or nasal congestion. Ensure regular follow-up appointments to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy and make adjustments as needed.
