If you're new
to CPAP therapy and find yourself waking up with a dry mouth, scratchy throat,
or irritated nostrils from a CPAP machine, you're not alone. CPAP therapy on its own
can be dry and irritating at times, especially in low-humidity climates or
during long winter months. Including a CPAP humidifier in your therapy regimen
is one of the most effective ways to improve therapy efficiency, comfort, and
overall CPAP compliance.
What is a CPAP Humidifier?
A CPAP
humidifier is an external or built-in device that adds moisture to your
therapy. Unlike a traditional humidifier, which adds moisture to the entire
room, a CPAP humidifier is typically much smaller and designed to be used
exclusively with a CPAP machine. Main design styles include-
● Integrated Humidifiers, which are custom-made
for a specific machine and will not work with any other therapy device. Philips cpap machine features a modular integrated humidifier
design.
● Built-in Humidifiers, which are built into the
machine and cannot be removed, replaced, or repaired separately from the CPAP
machine.
● Humidifiers that can be used independently
with any CPAP device that uses standard-sized tubing.
Working of the CPAP Humidifiers
A CPAP
humidifier works by adding moisture to your therapy air as it travels from your
CPAP machine via a water chamber. The first CPAP humidifiers all used this
basic passover design.
While cold
air is denser and actually holds more oxygen, hot air holds much more water. As
a result, without being heated, passover humidifiers cannot be adjusted to
provide more humidity.
The best
heated humidifiers on the market have adjustable heat and humidity settings,
but even on lower settings, many people find heated humidification too intense.
It can help
in easing out Dry Mouth, Sore Throat, nasal passage inflammation, Congestion,
airway Irritation, and Nosebleeds.
