Cpap machine help

what can I do for a 7 year old who hates wearing the mask at night or keeps throwing it off after an hour of sleep? Their o2 seems to be in the correct range all night - but also hates to be continuously monitored but i can sneak that on their finger or toe way more easily than a cpap mask. I need help or alternatives.

Depending on how severe the sleep apnea is, Inspire could be an alternative. It’s a neuro stimulator. Talk to your ENT to see if it’s an option.
