The cushion on the nasal mask may not be fitting properly. Take the child to a DME store to be fitted properly or again.

Can your cpap machine pressure be too high?

Yes. Excessively high pressures will cause the mask to leak and affect the CPAP's performance.


Choosing a Mask for Your CPAP?

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) Device, choosing the right mask to use with your CPAP is quite important. If the mask is uncomfortable, compliance with using the CPAP falls dramatically, and not using your CPAP can lead to very severe health problems in the future. Nasal Masks Probably the most commonly used mask is the nasal mask. This mask fits over the nose and is usually cushioned with a gel or soft plastic liner to form a good seal to prevent air leaks. Those with facial hair may have a problem with the mask sealing properly, but that isn’t guaranteed. Don’t let the tech talk you out of trying it, because you have a mustache. Some can use a nasal mask successfully with facial hair. One of the drawbacks of this type of mask is air leakage. Air can leak around the bridge of the nose can cause the eyes to dry out. Other complaints include dry nasal passages and nosebleeds, but this is often resolved with a heated humidifier attached to the CPAP. Full Face Mask A Full Face CPAP Mask covers both the nose and mouth. These masks are great for those people who have trouble breathing through their nose. With the full face mask, the user can breathe through their mouth if their nose becomes plugged. Even if you normally use a nasal mask, it is handy having a full face mask on hand for times when your nose if plugged. Again, these may have a problem sealing for those with facial hair. Try it out before you decide. Nasal Prong Masks A third option for CPAP users is the Nasal Prong Mask. These masks are becoming more popular. They consist of two prong shapes that fit into the nares with the CPAP tube running underneath and resting on the top lip. This allows the user to wear glasses, move more easily, and speak without removing the mask. This is good for those with facial hair, however, those requiring higher CPAP pressures may not be able to use these masks.


Can cpap cause problems with your lungs?

The basic answer to the question is no. CPAP uses a higher than normal level of airway pressure to open your upper airway while you sleep. When combined with a humidifier, the air entering your lungs maintains your ability to breath with air that is warm and moist. At the pressures prescribed for most people, there is little down side to the lung itself. Most issues people describe have to do with oral or nasal discomfort. One possible area where we might suspect the CPAP causing problems with your lungs is when the CPAP is prescribed at higher pressures. For example, a low pressure may be considered between 5 - 10 while a high pressure may be considered over 18. Fortunately, the CPAP system is not airtight, so there is almost always a leak factor that prevents problems with the pressure impact in the lungs.

What should you do if you are a 2 months user of c-pap You get so thirsty during the night you have to wake up to drink your lips get glued to your gums?

Experiencing excessive thirst and dry mouth while using a CPAP machine can be a common side effect of therapy, especially during the first few months of use. Here are some tips to help alleviate this issue: Stay Hydrated: It's important to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. However, avoid drinking large amounts of fluids before bedtime to minimize the need to wake up for bathroom breaks. Humidification: Using a heated humidifier with your CPAP machine can help moisten the air you breathe and reduce dryness. Make sure your humidifier is set to the appropriate level for your needs. Mask Fit: A poorly fitting mask can cause air to leak from your mouth and lead to dryness. Ensure your mask is properly fitted and adjusted for comfort. Saline Nasal Spray: Using a saline nasal spray before bed can help moisturize your nasal passages and reduce dryness. If the problem persists despite these measures, it's important to speak to your doctor or CPAP equipment provider for further guidance. They may recommend adjustments to your therapy or suggest alternative solutions. ⓗⓣⓣⓟⓢ    :⃝    /⃝    /⃝ⓦⓦⓦ    .⃝ⓓⓘⓖⓘⓢⓣⓞⓡⓔ②④    .⃝ⓒⓞⓜ    /⃝ⓡⓔⓓⓘⓡ    /⃝④③⑧⓪⓪⓪    /⃝ⓓⓗⓐⓝⓤⓢⓗ⑦②③④④    /⃝
