Behavioral Strategies for Adjusting to a CPAP After a Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Nov 12, 2018 | By Dona Locke (@DrDonaLocke)Comment receiving replies
I've had my ResMed Quatro Air for about 4 yrs, so maybe there are newer/better full masks available. I had an scary event with chemo induced acid reflux, and have not reused it. I have heard that manufacturer makes an air tube that has a heater wire in it to prevent invisible mold/mildew from forming inside. A preheating feature would also be on my next unit, since I hate the cold room air , blowing in my face. I took early retirement, so I can sleep as long as I want now

Hello @john4pack -- I think most of the newer CPAP machines have a humidifier with a heater and you can get a heated tube to go with it. They also have features that allow you to adjust the hose temperature and the humidifier temperature. I use the Dreamstation CPAP machine but I'm sure others have similar features.
