CPAP humidifiers are personal devices that use a water tank to release moisture into the air. CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is used to treat sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep. Humidifiers can add comfort to CPAP therapy by increasing humidity and decreasing dryness. The most common types are built-in humidifiers, which are integral to the CPAP machine and are generally preferred by travelers, while stand-alone humidifiers are separate units that connect to the CPAP machine through a hose and require their own power supply. The humidifier's purpose is to create a moist atmosphere around the patient's airways, which can lead to better sleep and reduced symptoms associated with dry mouth, nosebleeds, and sore throats.
