- Abstract
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment causes nasal symptoms that are believed to result from the drying effects of the air on the nasal mucosa, and these symptoms affect compliance with therapy. We hypothesized that the increased air pressure on the nasal mucosa caused by positive pressure from CPAP would decrease the ability of the nose to warm and humidify inspired air, explaining these symptoms.
