" Did they fit you for a mask and CPAP during your sleep study? Sometimes if you have enough sleep apnea events in the first part of the sleep study they will split the study in which the second portion of the sleep study is actually used to fit you for a mask and titrate the CPAP machine to figure out what setting and what masks work for you! If they were unable to split the study, then a second appoint is required to perform the titration of the CPAP.

" My first sleep study did not involve a mask. The tech told me after my study that he did notice some REM sleep apnea and would probably need a second study; he was right. "
