Sleep Apnea in Edmonton: Understanding the Condition
Sleep apnea is one of the most common and most underdiagnosed conditions in Canada. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most prevalent form, occurs when the throat muscles relax during sleep and the airway collapses, causing breathing to stop repeatedly throughout the night. Each interruption briefly wakes the body just enough to restart breathing, and most people have no memory of this happening.
Common symptoms include loud or frequent snoring, waking up with a dry mouth or headache, persistent daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. A partner noticing you stop breathing during sleep is one of the strongest indicators. Speaking with your doctor is a useful starting point if any of these symptoms sound familiar. You can also read more about the condition on the sleep apnea information page.
Left untreated, sleep apnea raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The consequences of untreated obstructive sleep apnea page covers these risks in detail and is worth reviewing before deciding whether to act on your symptoms.
Services at Both Edmonton Locations
Both the West and South Edmonton clinics offer the same comprehensive range of services:
- Home sleep apnea testing. A home sleep test lets you complete your sleep study in your own bed.
- CPAP therapy setup and fitting. Once you have a prescription, your respiratory therapist will fit you to the right machine and mask at your first appointment, before your first night of therapy. This ensures you start with the right equipment correctly configured.
- Mask fitting and troubleshooting. If your current mask is leaking, uncomfortable, or causing skin irritation, the team can refit you to a different size or style. You do not need a new prescription to switch masks.
- CPAP equipment supply. Both Edmonton clinics stock a full range of CPAP machines, masks, filters, tubing, and accessories.
- Insurance billing. Both clinics work directly with most major Canadian insurers. Visit the insurance coverage page to understand what your plan covers before your appointment.
- Virtual care. Virtual care appointments are available for follow-up consultations and ongoing therapy support between clinic visits.
CPAP Machines Available in Edmonton
Both Edmonton clinics carry a comprehensive range of CPAP and APAP machines from leading manufacturers. The most commonly prescribed devices are from the ResMed AirSense range, which includes both the AirSense 10 and the current generation AirSense 11. The AirSense 11 offers a guided setup assistant, updated app integration, and cellular connectivity on select models. You can read a detailed comparison in the AirSense 11 vs 10 guide.
CPAP Masks for Edmonton Patients
Getting the right mask is as important as getting the right machine. A mask that leaks, causes pain, or keeps you awake will undermine your therapy regardless of how well-configured your machine is. The Edmonton clinics carry the full ResMed AirFit and AirTouch range as well as options from other leading brands.

Insurance Coverage for CPAP in Alberta
AHCIP, Alberta’s provincial health plan, does not typically cover CPAP machine costs. However, most employer-sponsored extended health benefit plans provide coverage for the machine, mask, and ongoing supplies. Avant Respiratory works directly with most major Canadian insurers at both Edmonton locations and handles billing on your behalf. Visit the insurance coverage page for a general overview, or contact either Edmonton clinic directly to get your specific benefits confirmed.
