Treatment
Some people experience a continuing dryness of the nose,
mouth, or throat when using nasal CPAP therapy, particularly
during the winter months. Invacare recommends the Invacare
Polaris EX Heated Humidifier or the Invacare Poseidon
Passover Humidifier to be used with Polaris EX CPAP to
relieve these symptoms. You should contact your physician or
home healthcare provider for specific advice as to whether or
not these are suitable for you.
If you are having continuing problems obtaining a
comfortable and secure fit of the mask, you should contact
your home healthcare provider.
When nasal CPAP therapy is used for the first time, you will
notice an unusual sense of pressure when breathing. Taking a
few deep breaths when you start treatment may help you
adjust to the sensation.
