CPAP Compliance and DOT Physical

That is incorrect. The four hour minimum is for one sleep session. If he slept 16 hours straight, it's one sleep session. I usually sleep 2 h 4 hrs at a time. I leave the CPAP running for at least 5 consecutive hours per day, use it or not. For some reason, the last clinic I went to required 85% compliance, don't know why, but I didn't care because my machine showed 99.5%.

 

Holy crap the cpap.! I can't believe all the commentary about ways to get around what the drivers need. They need to take a rest period and be on line 2,, nothing I mean nothing should require the driver to get up...if it does,,,start the break over,,,leave the machine on for 99% compliance. Do you really think you are fooling anybody ? The idea was created for drivers benefits not to play games with. I never felt better when I used my machine as prescribed. I was able to give a full day of work and not feel run down....
Don't anyone get it ?

 

Good for you! You sleep in regular sessions! I don't, so...

 

Keep the PC blabber to yourself...

 

Leaving it running but not on your face records it as a large air leak. The cpap records the difference. The doctor isn't stupid.
