Treatment

11.8. My patient has a cold. Should he keep using his AirMini machine?

Having a cold can make using CPAP therapy difficult due to nasal congestion or blockage.
In most cases, your aptient will be able to keep using his CPAP machine if he can clear his nose or if
he already uses a mask that covers both his nose and mouth. Sometimes medication such as over-
the-counter saline spray can help clear a stuffy nose. However, if your patient is facing an acute
upper respiratory tract infection, he may need to temporarily stop treatment and consult his
prescribing physician.
