Diagnosis and treatment

Resmed is in the business of breathing.
We’re here to partner with you so that you can continue to give your patients the best possible care.
Learn more about Resmed’s treatment options for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and respiratory insufficiency associated with other conditions.

Respiratory Care

Your patient might have difficulty breathing as a result of a greater medical condition—like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Neuromuscular Disease (NMD)—and may need the help of a ventilator to breathe. Learn more about Resmed’s range of therapy options for invasive and noninvasive ventilation to suit a broad range of patients and care settings.

Common symptoms of sleep disorders

The first sign of a sleep disorder is snoring, even though many patients won’t identify that as a sign of something more serious. There are other common symptoms too.

Patient adherence and replenishment

Adherence to therapy can be the biggest challenge for patients with sleep apnea. Comfortable equipment, proper replacement, follow-up and education are critical to helping patients adapt to and stay on therapy.

Types of sleep-disordered breathing

There are three main types of sleep-disordered breathing which are manifested in sleep apnea. Discovering the specific differences between them can help you recognise how best to treat your patients.

Comorbidities

Sleep apnea has been linked to a number of other significant health conditions. Find out how treating your patients’ sleep apnea can improve their overall health.

Screening and diagnosis

If you suspect a patient may have sleep disordered breathing (SDB), this three step screening process for SDB can get your patient on the path to getting diagnosed.
