Clinically, I often encounter snoring patients who are afraid of the machine and very resistant to ventilator treatment. The reason for this is that there are many misconceptions about the appearance, performance and meaning of the ventilator. The following is a summary: 1. The respirator is too big and inconvenient to carry and use! Many snoring patients and their families think that the respirator for snoring is a large intubation respirator for resuscitating patients, which is big and inconvenient to use and carry. In fact, the respirator for snoring is worn on top of the nose and does not need to be intubated through the mouth, so it is very convenient to wear. The size of the whole respirator is like a small school bag, and it is not heavy, so it is very convenient to carry it for meetings and business trips. 2, the respirator is too expensive, can not afford to buy! In fact, the price of the ventilator varies, the cheapest five thousand dollars or so, the price of some high 20,000 to 30,000 dollars. Generally according to the patient’s breathing pressure, economic strength and other circumstances to buy, expensive machines are not suitable for everyone, perhaps very cheap machines can solve the problem. 3, the respirator is too intimidating to use the respirator! If your partner or children, feel that you wear after the image is very scary, you can do some convincing work, look at the habit will be good. If you yourself feel quite scary, then you need to adjust your own mentality, it is for your health ah. 4, I am still young, do not want to use the respirator! Wearing a ventilator has nothing to do with age. As long as the condition requires, as long as there are benefits, why can’t young snorers use ventilator treatment. 5. Long-term use of a ventilator will lead to addiction, so to avoid addiction, I don’t want to use a ventilator! The respirator needs to be worn for life, not worn for a period of time to cure snoring. After wearing the ventilator for a period of time, the symptoms will be reduced than before treatment if you don’t wear it occasionally. Even if you don’t wear the ventilator, it is not dangerous, so you don’t have to worry about addiction. There are also some patients, after wearing the respirator, their mental state becomes better during the day, and they are more willing to exercise more, regulate their diet, and pay attention to weight loss, so they may wear the respirator for a period of time and lose weight to normal or even low, and finally reach a complete cure. After wearing a ventilator for a long time, it may become a habit. Some patients have the phenomenon that if they don’t use the ventilator, they are uncomfortable to sleep instead and can’t sleep anymore. Therefore, the majority of patients, reluctance to use the ventilator is not the same as not being able to wear the ventilator, reluctance to use the ventilator is not the same as not suitable to wear the ventilator! Please don’t resist the ventilator treatment, maybe you are suitable to wear the ventilator! The ventilator will bring you unexpected benefits!
