Did you have a diagnostic night, then a treatment night or was both the diagnostic and treatment done the same night? CPAP & BIPAP are not usually used to treat Central Apneas unless there is something else that you were not told. Did you have any any Obstructive apneas or Hypopneas? Also the cost in the two systems are very different as a BPAP is about 3 times the cost of a CPAP. I would be happy to take a look at your study and talk with our Board Certified Sleep Specialist as to what would be the best way to follow up. My Fax is 361-852-1282. Or better yet talk with your primary physician....he should be your first step in treatment options.
