Using a CPAP device can cause a dry sensation due to the constant flow of air it produces. This can lead to discomfort and various problems in your respiratory system, such as irritation, nosebleeds, congestion and dry mouth.
The addition of a CPAP humidifier (CPAP humidifier) can help significantly in addressing these problems. The humidifier is activated and adds moisture to the air you breathe in during CPAP use. In this way, the symptoms associated with dryness are reduced, and the use of CPAP becomes a comfortable and pleasant process.
Basic benefits of the humidifier
- Reduction of irritation: Adding moisture to the air you breathe helps reduce irritation in your respiratory tract and nose.
- Relief from nosebleeds: Moisture can reduce the likelihood of nosebleeds that can be caused by dry mucous membranes.
- Wellness during sleep: Using a humidifier can help improve sleep quality as it reduces the discomfort associated with dryness.
- Improved compliance: A more comfortable user experience can make patients more compliant with CPAP therapy and use their machine more often.
By introducing moisture into the CPAP air, it improves the humidity level, making the CPAP experience more comfortable. If you often wake up with dry airways, it could be helpful to consider incorporating a humidifier into your CPAP system.
Instructions for the right Water
When using a CPAP device with a humidifier, the guidelines for the water you can use may vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the device. However, there are some common guidelines that can help you choose the right water:
- Distilled water: Although the most recommended choice, distilled water is considered the cleanest form of water, as it removes almost all impurities and metals. However, you should make sure that the distilled water you use is clean and antimicrobial.
- Clean water: Water that is filtered to remove chemicals and impurities can also be used. Pure water is often sourced from tap water that goes through the reverse osmosis process.
- Extracted water: The extracted water is another option as it is considered very pure as it undergoes an extraction process from the boiled water.
