A member asked:
Since a cpap can introduce air into the abdomen, is it safe to use after a nissan fundoppocation surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: CPAP by itself really is not pushing air into the stomach. Some people however tend to gulp air when sleeping on cpap. Make sure you have a newer generation "smart" CPAP that adjusts pressure based on level of obstruction. Also make sure you are professionally fitted for your mask type. We routinely have patients on CPAP and bipap after nissen surgery in our hospital.
