I have the same condition and also suffer from COPD and Asthma, so a nebrulized c-pap machine is a must.
My machine is a Resimed and was provided by the NHS, my local hospital does not however provide 12v cables or recommend their use, they say for safety reasons the machine should be operated on Mains power, as there is less risk of power supply failure.
For this reason we only book onto sites where EHU is available, but never have a problem finding a site that is suitable for our needs, and also the need to recharge the batteries for my Mobility scooter which is another essential piece of kit for my day to day needs in getting around the places we visit.
If this is going to be your wife's first Cpap machine, it may take some time to find the right set up of pressures, masks, of which there are several types, or indeed machines, as some models can be rather loud when in use for a person sharing the same room to get any quality sleep whist the machine is in use.
I'm on my 4th machine now, and it's much quieter than the original one l had around 7yrs ago. I also prepare the nasal pillow type masks to the full face masks, which l found rather warm and sticky to use during hot weather.
If you need any further information then please feel free it ask and l will try and help wherever l can in answering your questions. Like wearing dentures or specicles for the first time these machines do take a fair time to get used to wearing and using, it doesn't happen overnight, but after a few weeks it does get better and the improvements to general wellbeing during the day by far outstrip the inconvenience of having to use the machine at night.
