CPAP and Ventilator Secrets

This book looks at common problems experienced by people who have sleep-disordered breathing conditions and who use Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) machines and ventilators at home – CPAP, NIPPY, BIPAP etc.

Whether you’re having an overnight sleep study, want to know about NIV therapy, or are looking for practical information, this self-help book will interest you.

It includes experiences and anecdotes from NIV patients, with sections on air leaks, facial soreness, travelling with the equipment, comfort in bed, and relationships, amongst others.

Containing no complicated medical or technical jargon, this book is YOUR handy home reference guide.

As well as the author’s twenty years personal experience of using ventilator support, the book draws upon research conducted with other NIV users whose total length of experience amounts to over 200 years.

“I am not aware of any other book which would provide so much helpful information to people who need ventilatory support”
Dr J Shneerson, Papworth Hospital

“Thinking back, it would have been very useful to have the kind of book you are preparing. We had nothing, and at first you struggle in the dark – literally! Anything to help people to get used to it, and helpful hints along the way, must help, and make you feel you are not alone.”

“I think this is a great idea of yours and admire you for doing it. It would have been so helpful if I’d had a book like this when I first got my BiPAP.”

“I had no information that really made any sense, so anything you can do to help other people out there will be beneficial.”
