birth control after 2nd child
I have 2 questions: 1. We just had our 2nd boy. Our two children are approximately 18 months apart. We very much want to go
What do you know about the permissibility of using a CPAP machine for the treatment of sleep apnea on Shabbos and Yom Tov? Is there a distinction between machines that need a button to start versus machines that start when the mask is attached?
Sleep apnea is a situation of cumulative pikuah nefesh, meaning that if not treated the patient will eventually end up in an ICU. However, not using it for even one night can give rise to a possibility of pikuah nefesh depending on many other factors and therefore MUST be used every night. Where possible use a Shabbos clock to turn it on and off, or else use the back of your finger to do so if you have to disconnect in the middle of the night.
There is no distinction between machines that need a button to start versus machines that start when the mask is attached, if both actions (pressing the button or attaching the mask) can be done B'shinui.
