Moisture in the Mask

Post by KENSKIP1 » Mon Jun 27, 2022 7:46 am

Well I have been keeping my word and using my ResMed AirCurve for almost a month now. But on occasions I am getting moisture in the mask. I have the incoming air set at 61 degrease. The humidity is set a position number 4. Also before sleeping I need to use a nasal decongestant. Using it allows me uninterrupted slumber. Could this cause any respiratory concerns? Thanks, Ken

Update, Oscar says my AHI was 5.99

However the AHI on the unit says 2.6

Water in the mask or hose really isn't of the amount that can harm someone physically but it can sure be annoying if it wakes the person up or wakes up the bed partner repeatedly.

You can read about your options here...posts number 2 and 3.

Since you are using a heated hose....add some heat to the air if the water in the mask or hose is too annoying.
Condensation in the mask or hose is simply Physics in action and you have to deal with it by employing physics in some form.
