There are many possibilities as an outcome of not using your cpap. The most likely outcome is a decrease in the quality of sleep the patient receives. The worst possible outcome would be an adverse apnea event which resulted in death.

You should always check with your physician or respiratory therapist before stopping cpap therapy on your own. Most likely there is something they can do or recommend to improve the situation you are having.

The CPAP mask is connected to the machine using special tubing also known as a hose. One end of the hose connects to an elbow or an adapter on the bottom of the mask. The other end of the hose connects to the CPAP machine output joint. It should fit snuggly, but not be difficult to attach. If it is, then you may not have the right size hosing or adapter for the mask/machine you are using and should contact your Respiratory Therapist, Physician, or CPAP supplier for help in trouble shooting this problem.
