Cpap machine

Do I have to take along my cpap meshein to the hospital? To have it in the recovery room?

I was wondering about that too! if the operation takes about 45 minutes to an hour and I'm knocked out I'll be gagging and suffocating without it.

Can they use one during the surgery? Do they have one there or I have to bring mine?

I hardly use it at home since I breath fine sleeping on my tummy but 5 minutes on my back I'm choking so I've been meaning to ask my doc.

I was asked to take mine. I used it after surgery recovering in my hospital room. I'm happy to say I no longer have sleep apnea thanks to weight loss.

I had to bring mine. Don't worry about while you are sedated. They will keep your airway clear and keep you breathing. I stayed two nights post op, and I needed it for those nights.

I was told today in my prep class if you don't bring it to the hospital the hospital will cancel your surgery. So I would bring it ????

My surgeon and sleep specialist both told me to bring mine. If you are not certain bring it anyway.

I've had two surgerys that were both out patient on my ears and they asked me to bring mine just in case there were complications and I had to stay overnight
