Re: Understanding readings
I am reading that the CPAP does not treat sleep apnea it just allows the patient more O2 to sleep better. Burn that damn book. The author is a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of not one good quality. Stick around. Members will be along to help...

Re: Okay to use used Bipap machine?
If it were me, I would look at the general condition/cleanliness of the machine and give it a good sniff test. Was the appearance of the person I bought it from decent? Were his fingernails clean? Replace the air filter. Use the machine.

Re: Tube holder and humidification
This is symptomatic of leaking air through your mouth. It will cause dry mouth. No CPAP humidifier can overcome this.

Re: Elderly Father COPD and CPAP
Young people of otherwise clear minds also refuse to use CPAP. It's very common.Does anyone else have elderly "non-compliant" parents when it comes to CPAP?
Don't let it be too hard on your mother or you.

Re: What brand of airline approved battery do you use for Dreamstation?
Version 1 had a barrel ended cord for Dreamstation that had to be ordered separately. it's no longer available. Version 2 now uses a cord that uses USB C to connect to the battery.

Re: Weight loss drug trial claiming to reduce Sleep Apnea. Hmmm?
From the subject article: In both trials, people on Zepbound lost, on average, around 20% of their body weight, which Lilly suspects contributed to the reduction in sleep apnea events.
