Help the new girl please-back to the basics
Yes, I have tried to google and search in history, with no luck. My pressure is set at 5 cm. What is cm? In my head I hear centimeters, but that can't be right is it?

Yes, it refers to the amount of pressure needed to raise a column of water a certain number of centimetres.
Here is a video that shows the differences between cmH20 and PSI (pounds per square inch) for measuring pressure:

Thanks. I don't want "to blow my head off", like the video states.

With a pressure of 5 (very low) most of us would not be able to breath.Cardsfan wrote:Thanks. I don't want "to blow my head off", like the video states.

I'd rather show people how to find their own answers, instead of waiting on me... or someone else for that matter... it's quickerpostitnote wrote:Or just ask PaleRider!palerider wrote:try googling this the next time you're looking for answers:Cardsfan wrote:Yes, I have tried to google and search in history, with no luck.

ATTENTION NEWBIES and others: PR's tip above is a GREAT RESOURCE for you folks looking for quick answers.... simply put CPAPtalk's search engine isn't very good Just be sure to get the syntax right and you'll be good to go. It works with Duck Duck Go and most of the other search engines too.palerider wrote:try googling this the next time you're looking for answers:Cardsfan wrote:Yes, I have tried to google and search in history, with no luck.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
