Does anyone have problems with the mask with CPAP for sleep apnea? 2

My grandfather is finding it hard to breathe while wearing the mask that is on his CPAP machine. He has a mask and just the tube for the nose but both make him feel like he’s having a hard time breathing, and he’s worried about wearing it at night.

That usually happens for the first few weeks after getting the machine. After awhile he will get used to it. If not, then he should see a doctor because maybe the mask is not sized properly.

Does anyone know how a BiPap machine works? Should it use up the water? How strong should the pressure be.? 1

A BiPap machine works by delivering positive pressure during a breath generated by the machine or triggered by the user. This is called IPAP(inspiratory positive airway pressure).When the user exhales it has an expiratory pressure. What this means is thats it doesn’t allow the user to empty their lungs completely on an exhaled breath. This is called EPAP (expiratory positive airway pressure). BiPap is different than CPAP machines because they can be used as a non invasive ventilation. Simular to a ventilator that is used for life support. The IPAP used is to regulate how much CO2 needs to be removed from the user and the pressure is based on a person to person difference. The EPAP is for oxygenation and how high this is depends on the oxygen needs of the user.
Most doctors order a routine setting on the BiPap machine as 10/5. This means +10 of IPAP and +5 of EPAP. The difference between the two amounts of 10&5 is 5 which is called the pressure support.
The amount of pressure given does vary from person to person and the only way to check if the user is getting adequate venitlation and oxygenation with amounts delivered by the machine, is to have an arterial blood gas drawn from 1 to 2 hours after beginning use.
The machine will use water for humidification and this is for comfort reasons due to high flows of dry air being inhaled by the user. So yes it will use water but not that quickly. The user will not feel the water in the mask because it is used just to humidify the air being delivered. Simular to the air around us.
