Follow Up Program  [ Return to  Services  ]

Air Liquide Healthcare’s ambition is to provide the highest possible standards of service to our customers. Studies show that CPAP treatment acceptance and initial adherence to therapy is often the most difficult stage for OSA sufferers. During the initial stage of therapy, it is important to seek the necessary support by a professional team.

Long-term follow-up is valuable to monitor any change in health conditions and/or any difficulties experienced with less than optimal treatment. For all these reasons, diligent short-term and long-term follow up with your service provider, in communication with your physician, is key to successful therapy.

Air Liquide Healthcare provides all new CPAP users with a comprehensive CPAP Follow Up program. The Follow Up program aims not only to regularly review the Compliance and Effectiveness of your CPAP therapy, but also to provide first time CPAP users with the necessary support towards long-term successful CPAP therapy.

The prescription of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with CPAP therapy varies for each patient, depending upon the severity of the sleep apnea, the physical structure of the upper airway, and other aspects of a patient’s medical history.

Whichever the treatment selected, it is vital that the effectiveness of your treatment is assessed on a regular basis. Annual follow-ups with your physician are recommended to re-evaluate your condition and the efficacy of your therapy. Scheduled check-ups of treatment equipment or devices are also recommended to ensure that your therapy needs are met. These follow up procedures are especially important if you are experiencing fatigue or if you have been gaining weight.
