effects of cpap humidification
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of heated humidification in the nasal mucosa of a rat model of nCPAP in two different scenarios: during the application of nCPAP in a sealed system and during the application of nCPAP in presence of a controlled oral air leak.

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) delivers air into your airway through a specially designed nasal mask or pillows. The flow of air creates enough pressure when you inhale to keep your airway open. CPAP is considered the most effective nonsurgical treatment for snoring and sleep apnea.
