As we know, there are many ways to treat snoring, including surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. For patients who do not accept surgery, we can provide them with non-surgical treatment, which includes ventilator treatment and wearing oral appliances. Today we will first explain some of the problems that patients may encounter when wearing a ventilator. 1. Wrong mask type and size It is important to work closely with your doctor and respirator supplier to ensure that the type and size of the mask meets your requirements. Everyone’s needs may be different, so it is very important to choose a mask type and size that is right for you. A mask that suits someone else may not necessarily suit you. Be sure to personalize your choice and wear it. Conclusion: No one mask is suitable for all patients. 2. Difficulty in wearing a ventilator at the beginning At the beginning, you must gradually adapt to wearing a ventilator. It is possible to be awake without the apparatus, just wearing the mask for a while and watching TV. Then connect the instrument, there is a certain pressure output, lie down, and gradually adapt to the pressure and flow of the ventilator output. 3, can not adapt to the pressure output of the air through the “delay time” can overcome this problem. The delay time can be adjusted by yourself or your supplier. Repeated several times, may achieve good results. 4.Dry, stuffy nose If the patient feels the nasal cavity dry, you can use a heated humidifier, the level of humidification can be adjusted. Bedside nasal sea salt spray can also be used. If a heated humidifier is not effective, some steroidal sprays can be used. In addition, the mask should be airtight and not leak, otherwise it will also cause nasal dryness. 5, . Feeling claustrophobic When awake, just with the nasal mask, without anything, once adapted to this, and then gradually fixed mask, with instruments, through these, can gradually avoid claustrophobia. 6, mask air leakage, skin irritation, or pressure irritation An air leakage or poorly fitted mask means you can’t get the correct treatment pressure, air leakage may irritate your skin and damage your skin, such as air blowing into your eyes, causing discomfort, such as watery eyes, dry eyes, etc. This is normal and often encountered at the beginning. As time goes on, the patient will gradually adapt to wearing the mask and the difficulty in sleeping will gradually be solved. 8. Dry mouth If you sleep at night with open mouth breathing, your mouth will be dry in the morning. By using a jaw brace to help you close your mouth while you sleep may solve this problem. 9. Unconscious removal of mask and instruments at night In some cases, many patients find that their mask is unconsciously removed during sleep at night. If this is the case for many, you will want to consider whether to change the mask to a different mouth and nose mask. In addition, improper pressure settings on the instrument may also be the cause of the patient removing the mask. The level of pressure needs to be re-examined. 10. Nasty noise Newer CPAP instruments are silent. If you find that the instrument is very noisy, first check if the instrument’s filter membrane is dirty and blocking the instrument air inlet, which sometimes causes additional noise. In addition, the instrument will be placed away from the ear or have sound-absorbing facilities is also a way to solve the problem.
