CPAP Titration Study Brisbane | In-Lab Sleep Apnoea Treatment Testing
Optimising CPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnoea at NBST
If you’ve been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a CPAP titration study is the next step in determining the ideal settings for your CPAP machine. North Brisbane Sleep & Thoracic (NBST) offers in-lab titration studies at our North Lakes sleep clinic, helping patients across Brisbane’s northside find effective, personalised treatment.
What Is a CPAP Titration Study?
A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) titration study is an overnight, in-lab sleep test that determines the precise air pressure needed to keep your airway open while you sleep. This ensures your CPAP machine is optimally set to:
-
Eliminate apnoea events
-
Improve sleep quality
-
Stabilise oxygen levels
-
Reduce snoring and daytime fatigue
What to Expect
-
You’ll arrive at our North Lakes clinic in the evening
-
Our sleep technician will fit sensors to monitor breathing, brain waves, heart rate, oxygen, and movement
-
A CPAP mask will be selected and fitted for comfort
-
You will be monitored continuously throughout the night
The study typically begins with a short baseline sleep session without CPAP, followed by gradual increases in pressure while you sleep to find the minimum effective pressure. Our team fine-tunes settings across different sleep stages and positions.
