Hi, my father is 72 years old and he is suffering from chronic obstructive bronchitis. Also he has emphysema and his doctor prescribed him cpap in order to improve his present condition. I would like to know if cpap is efficient in elderly patients like my father. Thank you very much.

Hi, as much as I know doctors usually prescribe cpaps to the persons who has problem with sleep apnea. However it is possible that doctor prescribe it in some other cases if he thinks it would be useful. Cpap may be useful in elderly patients too, but you have to see what pressure on cpap is suitable for your father.
