CPAP use after needle biopsy
Respected Doctors my 69 yr old mother just had needle biopsy done today for lung mass from her right lung.. It was on OPD basic and after keeping her in observation for 2 hours, she was asked to leave.. She is feeling fine.. just little pain..
My question is can she use her CPAP machine at night today also? She uses it regularly.. Can she use tonight also?
