I. Follow-up After the Test

The journey of Sleep Apnea treatment
1. Interpreting the Report and Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)
Understanding the Core Indicator of Disease Severity

Sleep test results should be professionally interpreted by a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) or a doctor. The most critical data in the report is the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), which is the average number of times breathing pauses and insufficient breathing occur per hour during sleep:

  • Normal: Less than 5 times per hour
  • Mild Sleep Apnea Patients: 5 to 15 times per hour
  • Moderate Sleep Apnea Patients: 16 to 30 times per hour
  • Severe Sleep Apnea Patients: More than 30 times per hour
2. Assessing Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and Sleep Stages
Understanding Hypoxia

In addition to AHI, professionals will analyze your blood oxygen saturation. If blood oxygen drops below 90% during sleep, it indicates that the body and brain are in a state of hypoxia, which can lead to a series of health problems, primarily affecting the cardiovascular system and the brain, in the long term. Furthermore, the report will also show whether your deep sleep (N3) is being disturbed by frequent awakenings.

3. Deciding on a Treatment Plan (If AHI is above 15)
The Gold Standard Treatment for Moderate to Severe Patients

If the AHI in your report is above 15 (indicating moderate or severe sleep apnea), the medical community generally strongly recommends starting CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treatment. This effectively opens the blocked airway, instantly eliminates snoring, and restores normal blood oxygen levels.

4. Conducting CPAP Titration Test
Finding Your Exclusive CPAP Pressure

Before formally purchasing or long-term use of a CPAP machine, medical professionals will suggest you undergo a CPAP titration test. By trying the CPAP machine during sleep, the most suitable pressure (cmH2O) range for the severity of your airway obstruction can be found, ensuring the treatment is both comfortable and effective.

5. CPAP Therapy
Adapting to the Treatment with the Assistance of a Therapy Consultant

Starting to use a CPAP machine is a process that requires both physical and mental adjustment, and it is absolutely normal to feel slightly unaccustomed initially when wearing it. You do not need to face these challenges alone; Celki VitalAire’s professional therapy consultants and service team will be your strongest support during the adaptation period, accompanying you throughout the transition.

During your exclusive adaptation program, our therapy consultants will provide professional assistance:

  • Personalized Mask Fitting and Adjustment: Mask comfort is key to treatment success. Consultants will guide you on the correct wearing technique, precisely adjust the head strap tightness, and effectively solve common problems such as air leaks, facial pressure marks, or feelings of claustrophobia.
  • Fine-Tuning Comfort Settings: Based on your real sleep feedback, consultants will adjust the CPAP machine’s advanced comfort settings for you, such as activating the expiratory pressure relief function (like EPR), and adjusting the temperature of the smart humidifier and heated tubing, thereby alleviating discomfort caused by dry nose, dry throat, or excessive pressure.
  • Cloud Data Monitoring and Proactive Follow-up: In the early stages of treatment, consultants will closely monitor your sleep data (including usage hours, leak rate, and residual AHI index) through a secure cloud system. We will proactively contact you to understand your progress and provide targeted improvement suggestions, ensuring the treatment plan truly takes effect.

Under the attentive guidance of our professional consultants, the vast majority of patients are able to successfully adapt to CPAP treatment within two to four weeks, regain control of their breathing rhythm, and begin to enjoy the benefits of deep, snore-free, quality sleep.

Studies indicate that the success rate of CPAP treatment is less than 40% without professional support!

II. Experiencing CPAP Treatment

If your AHI index is higher than 15, please do not worry excessively. The CPAP machine is currently recognized as the most effective and non-invasive treatment method. Celki VitalAire firmly believes that "what you need is far more than just a machine, but a comprehensive solution." To help you smoothly transition and adapt to CPAP treatment, we offer the following options:

  • DreamCatcher Adaptation Program: A professional team provides close support to help you adapt to CPAP therapy within seven days.

III. Why Choose Celki VitalAire for Follow-up Treatment in Hong Kong?

In Hong Kong, where life is fast-paced and living spaces are generally compact, choosing a sleep apnea treatment solution that suits local living habits is particularly important. Celki VitalAire leverages a strong local support network to ensure your CPAP experience is worry-free:

Whether you live on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, or in the New Territories, one of Celki VitalAire's many stores (which also serve as experience centers) is always near you. Our professional team is readily available to provide mask trials, equipment trials and adjustments, as well as daily usage and maintenance advice.

IV. Common Questions About Sleep Tests and CPAP Treatment (FAQ)

1. If my AHI index is above 15, must I immediately buy a CPAP machine?

The medical community strongly recommends that patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea start CPAP treatment as soon as possible to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, you do not need to purchase it immediately. Celki VitalAire offers flexible "DreamCatcher Adaptation Program" and "SleepWell 360 Subscription Plan" options, allowing you to rent and adapt to the machine at a low cost first. Once you confirm the treatment is effective and suitable for you, you can embark on the long-term treatment journey.

2. If I have medical insurance, can I claim the costs for the sleep test and CPAP machine?

This depends on the specific terms of your personal medical insurance policy. In Hong Kong, many comprehensive medical insurances covering outpatient or specialist treatment can fully or partially reimburse the costs of sleep tests and CPAP machine purchases, provided you have a doctor's referral letter. We recommend you consult your insurance advisor, and Celki VitalAire is also happy to provide you with detailed receipts and/or relevant documents for claiming purposes.

3. If I am a civil servant, can I apply for a subsidy to purchase a CPAP machine?

Generally, civil servants and their dependents (who need to confirm their related medical coverage themselves) who undergo a sleep test through the proper channels and are advised by a doctor to use a CPAP machine can apply to the government for related subsidies. We cannot apply directly on your behalf, but based on our years of relevant experience, we can provide support for your subsidy application and provide you with detailed receipts or relevant documents for application purposes.

4. Are there any side effects from long-term use of a CPAP machine?

CPAP is a non-invasive physical treatment with no drug side effects. Initial users may experience slight discomfort, such as dry nose, mask pressure marks, or minor air leaks. These issues can usually be easily resolved by using a humidifier, re-adjusting the pressure, or changing to a different size mask. Our registered polysomnographic technologists will follow up with you throughout the process to ensure you comfortably get through the adaptation period.
