well, that would make it better and easier to make notes about exact pressure.chunkyfrog wrote:You forgot the part about taping a ruler to the tubing.
It really does work.

what I've noticed is that when I'm wearing the ffm, it pulls my jaw back, but when wearing the p10 pillows, my lower jaw is further forward, sort of the the difference in where your jaw is while your teeth are clenched, vs where it is when you're trying to bite something with your incisors. could be that even that little bit of forward motion helps open up the airway?Jay Aitchsee wrote:That said, it does seem that, for me, pressure applied by pillows is more effective than that applied by FFM. I recently switched from FFM to pillows and have found that I have been able to reduce the pressure from a nominal 9cmH20 with a FFM to 6 with pillows without developing hypopneas or apneas. Using a FFM, respiratory events begin to occur when the pressure is reduced to about 8. Further, Flow Limitations are dramatically reduced at all pressures with pillows while being unaffected (present) by increasing pressure using a FFM.
I think that is a reasonable guess. The only way I've been able to get Flow Limitations comparable to that of using pillows is by using a soft cervical collar with the FFM.palerider wrote:could be that even that little bit of forward motion helps open up the airway?
