Pt having difficulty adjusting to CPAP


Posted by Bernie Fecteau, RRT on January 18, 2000 at 16:39:10:

At first pt was complaining of the air being too cold. Suggested to pt that we could add heated humidifier. Then pt complained of having nasal congestion at night then runny nose during the day. Any suggestions on what this pt could do to deal with the allergy type symptoms? Some have had luck with Vicks vapor rub.
