CPAP machines are an effective way to treat obstructive sleep apnea. They deliver a constant stream of pressurized air into the patient's nose to maintain open airways during sleep. This helps to prevent the soft palate from collapsing into the airway.
CPAP therapy can be uncomfortable at first. You may experience a burning sensation in your lungs as you inhale. During this time, it is important to get plenty of rest. Using a CPAP machine with a humidifier can help you reduce this discomfort.
Some of the most common problems are a leaky mask and dry mouth. To keep your nasal passages healthy, you should wash your CPAP mask and hose regularly. Also, you can purchase an inline heated humidifier to attach to your PAP device.
The amount of pressure you need depends on your personal habits and the severity of your symptoms. It is important to start with a low pressure and work up to a high pressure as you become accustomed to CPAP.
CPAP machines with ramp features allow you to begin with a lower air pressure and gradually increase it as you fall asleep. These machines are often more affordable than BiPAP machines.
When using a CPAP, you should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Clean your CPAP device every week and your reusable filters every two to three months.
If you are thinking about starting CPAP therapy, it's a good idea to talk with your doctor or contact The Air Station in Singapore who can help you find the best CPAP mask for your needs and recommend ongoing adjustments.
