I work as a sleep apnoea nurse in close co-operation with our physicians specialised in sleep apnoea. The most important thing in my work is to treat each person as an individual: I listen to your wishes and concerns so that together we can find the most peaceful treatment solution that best suits your daily life.
You can visit my practice at many different stages of your sleep apnoea journey. You are warmly welcome to start CPAP device treatment following a recent diagnosis, look for solutions to challenges with long-term treatment, or come in for a regular annual check-up and assessment of your situation. You can also book a low-threshold phone appointment with me if you first wish to discuss Mehiläinen's various treatment options in peace. To start treatment, we always need a sleep apnoea diagnosis made by a physician as well as the results of a previously performed nocturnal polygraphy examination.
During the appointment, we go through things without rushing. I will guide you on how to use the device and help you choose and fit the most comfortable mask for your face. We use modern ResMed AirSense 11 and Philips DreamStation 2 devices. If you wish, you can also rent a ResMed device – this is a popular and flexible option, for instance, while you are waiting for a device from the public sector. In addition, the handy ResMed AirMini travel device is available through us, which you can rent for a trip or purchase for yourself.
To get the most out of your appointment, please bring your current CPAP device and mask with you if you already have them. If the nocturnal polygraphy examination was performed somewhere other than Mehiläinen, please bring the statement with you to the appointment. If you wear an occlusal splint made by a dentist at night, please also bring it with you to the device initiation appointment so that we can ensure the mask fits well with the splint.
See you at the practice – let’s make your sleep better together!
CPAP appointments can be booked via online booking or by phone through Mehiläinen's Customer Service Centre.
