It’s for when you’re waking up after general anaesthesia - the nurse puts it on you in recovery. They do that here sometimes anyway. They didn’t do it for me but I was given something to wake me up quickly coz they couldn’t wake me up from the anaesthesia but generally it takes people a while to wake up so they use the cpap machine while you’re waking up so you can breathe properly coz you’re still sedated. Also handy if something goes wrong and you need to stay the night too.
