ClimateLineAir Tubing: A Must-Have Accessory for Cold Weather CPAP Therapy
Common users of CPAP therapy for sleep apnea patients’ treatment need comfort during the duration of the treatment. Among the difficulties to which patients who use CPAP have to look for solutions, one of the most frequent problems during the colder periods is when cold and dry air will irritate the patient. It is here that ClimateLineAir Tubing is designed as an add-on that provides comfort and therapy improvement during cold climate weather.
Climalex: A Recommended Reappraisal of the Air Tubing ClimateLine
ClimateLineAir Tubing is the heatable CPAP hose that fits the compatible CPAP devices including the ResMed. The main purpose is to control the temperature of the air supplied through the mask, so that it does not get cold and dry. This is particularly advantageous in cases where the atmospheric temperature is low in the winter season whereby there are increased probabilities of the formation of condensation, also known as “rainout”, within the tubing.
Benefits accruing from ClimateLineAir Tubing in cold environment
Prevention of Rainout:
Another great benefit of ClimateLineAir Tubing, especially when used in cold climates is, that it completely eliminates the problem of rainout. Rainout is the term used when normally humid warm air from the CPAP machine cools on the tubing side producing moist droplets. This condensation can result in the water droplets to form FMLA on the tubing and then be inhaled by the user, making him/her uncomfortable and can unable to sleep. ClimateLineAir Tubing maintains the air at a desired temperature of flow of air through the tubes, also eliminates condensation thus making the flow of air smooth and without hitches.
Enhanced Comfort:
The reputation of winter as being a flu season is not far from the truth because cold, dry air can severely dry up the nasal passages, throat and cause nose bleeds in severe cases. As result, with the help of ClimateLineAir Tubing, proper airflow creates the warm and moisture environment in the airways that is comfortable during the night. This is especially the case for the CPAP users who are either sensitive to dry air or have congestion problems especially when it is chilly.
Improved CPAP Compliance:
Compliance with CPAP means that patients have to be comfortable. Patients who report discomfort due to cold air or rainout for example will likely quit using this therapy and thereby poorly manage sleep apnea. These problems are rectified by ClimateLineAir Tubing because the air given out by the CPAP machine is continuously at a comfortable temperature and this makes the user more compliant with the therapy.
Easy to Integrate
This Climatelineaair tubings is also good to use with compatible CPAP machines, which includes the ResMed AirSense series. It is a tubing that changes the heat of the air admitted in the room with reference to the ambient temperature in the room, thus eliminating the need for manual control of the heat of the air admitted in the room. It is simple to add onto an existing CPAP system and makes the technology user-friendly.
Maintaining Your ClimateLineAir Tubing
With proper care and cleaning, your ClimateLineAir Tubing should last and perform as it should for a while. This includes removal of the tubing from the CPAP unit and mask and then rinsing it under warm water that has some soap on it. This should be followed by air-drying of the Tubing for a few hours before it is reconnected to the machine. Cleaning and maintenance do not only increase the tubings’ working life but also it also provides clean air during the process of therapy.
Conclusion
For patients who experience difficulties because of cold weather CPAP use ClimateLineAir Tubing is an excellent addition which greatly increases comfort and therapy efficiency. Thus, ClimateLineAir Tubing helps reduce rainout, keep the air warm and humidified, and be easily connected to CPAP systems, and in this way, allow users to have a good night sleep even in low temperatures. The ClimateLineAir Tubing does not require a large commitment for it to bring change in the quality of sleep therapy, especially during the cold season.
