For the sleep therapy user who wants a simple and economical option, a CPAP that offers a specific prescribed pressure setting will provide just that. Some basic CPAP machines will come with an integrated humidification system, while others will offer humidification as an additional option. Based on your physician’s prescription, these units provide the same pressure setting on both inhalation and exhalation and afford an uncomplicated and efficient means of complying with sleep therapy.
Humidification is highly recommended to maintain normal conditions of the upper and lower airways. A Heated Humidifier works to prevent irritability, structural damage to sensitive tissue, heat and water loss of the upper and lower airways, and increased airway resistance. Increasing moisture with each breath, humidifiers help deliver a more comfortable and peaceful night sleep.
