Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep, often leading to chronic snoring, daytime sleepiness, and increased health risks such as high blood pressure and heart issues. CPAP machines are a common treatment, providing a steady airflow to keep the airway open.
Non-adjusting CPAP machines deliver a constant, fixed level of air pressure throughout the night, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. They are designed for users with fixed pressure prescriptions, offering a straightforward CPAP experience.
Non-adjusting CPAP machines are suitable for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have been prescribed a specific pressure level by their sleep doctor. They are also a good option for people looking for a more affordable CPAP machine.
CPAP therapy involves a machine that filters and pressurizes air, delivered through a hose and mask to keep the airway open during sleep. This effectively treats obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where throat tissues block the upper airway.
Easy to use: Non-adjusting CPAP machines are simple to set up and use. There are no complicated settings to adjust.
Effective: Non-adjusting CPAP machines can be as effective as auto-adjusting CPAP machines for treating sleep apnea.
The best way to choose a non-adjusting CPAP machine is to talk to your sleep doctor. They will be able to help you determine the right pressure level for you and recommend a suitable machine for your needs.
If you are having problems with your non-adjusting CPAP machine, there are a few things you can do:
Check for mask leaks: Make sure your mask is fitted properly and there are no leaks.
Use a humidifier: A humidifier can help to add moisture to the air and reduce dry mouth.
Try a different mask: Many different types of CPAP masks are available. If you are uncomfortable with your current mask, try a different one.
Talk to your sleep doctor: If you still have problems, talk to your sleep doctor. They may be able to help you find a solution.
