Side effects from wearing a CPAP can often cause discomfort. Here’s how to handle common CPAP-related complaints:
That’s why it is so important to find CPAP solutions that work with you, so you can stick with your treatment plan, even if you experience a few setbacks here and there.
It’s important to understand what model of the Inspire implant your patient has, because different models have different imaging guidelines.
If you’ve received a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—which causes numerous brief pauses in breathing as you sleep—your doctor has probably recommended continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as a treatment.
If you’ve tried and tried to acclimate to your CPAP mask to pelo avail, it may be time to consider oral appliance therapy. With this method, patients wear an appliance that looks and feels similar to an athletic mouthguard while they sleep.
g., adenoids). These can be corrected with surgical intervention. Pathophysiological conditions are common and include allergic or vasomotor rhinitis, for which patients require appropriate education and counselling, skin prick allergy testing, allergen avoidance advice and treatment with antihistamines and intranasal steroids (20). CPAP rhinitis is due to inflammatory changes in the nasal mucosa as a result of the persistent high air pressures—this also requires similar treatment with saline douching and intranasal steroids (21). Pathological processes such as sinusitis and nasal polyposis are often problematic and can be missed during routine respiratory review as they are better evaluated with rigid and flexible endoscopes in otolaryngology outpatients. This can be treated effectively, either medically, or surgically, in the form of endoscopic sinus surgery (22,23). Correction of these factors can lead to an improvement in CPAP compliance via a reduction in pressure requirements but rarely, alone, can it lead to resolution of OSA (24).

Use Heat to Reduce Bloating and Pain: A heating pad or warm bath may encourage trapped air to move through your body so that it can be released.
These clinical factors highlight the need to address nasal patency and obstruction. A recent computational fluid dynamics analysis has highlighted this effect of nasal obstruction on CPAP treatment, with a particular correlation between inspiratory pressures and maximal airflow velocity (42).

Another major difference between both treatments is how they function. CPAP is a machine that uses continuous air pressure to keep the upper airways open during sleep. In contrast, the Inspire sleep apnea treatment uses nerve stimulation to keep the airway muscles open during sleep.
Some EPAP devices have been approved by the FDA to reduce snoring, while others have been cleared to treat obstructive sleep apnea3.
Is sleep nasendoscopy a valuable adjunct to clinical examination in the evaluation of upper airway obstruction?
Nasal surgery alone will rarely remove the requirement for CPAP but may facilitate its use, particularly nCPAP. There is in fact limited evidence that nasal obstruction contributes to the pathogenesis of OSA.
