Re: Eson Mask sizing

I've worn a small in every mask I've tried and I wear a ESON small. If it would help, I could measure it for you. Yes please, that would be a big help. Is one of the masks you have used the mirage fx? Fisher and Paykel told me the was no template but to use a medium and I am just not comfortable wi...

Re: Review of Sleep Study and Oximetry

But, in the mean time what did you think of the (decrease of centrals) after cutting my meds? Certainly seems in keeping with "opiate-induced central apnea", and everything that we have covered so far. Don't forget the ETCO2 at the sleep study. This will be a helpful tool to gauge therapy.

Molette and Delta Dave - is it possible you are one and the same? mollete and deltadave are not different yet are not quite similar. mollete and Muffy are basically the same, having nothing to do with each other. Muffy and NotMuffy are identical opposites. SAG and mollete are not related, both havi...

Re: new Wisp mask?

I'm considering trying the Mirage FX or the Eson which I've seen good things on here about. I use the Eson and Mirage FX for her. The Mirage FX I just got in size small, which is quite a bit smaller than the standard. A shorter nose piece helps it fit much better on my face. I use the Eson primaril...

Review of Sleep Study and Oximetry

Hi everyone Just wanted to let all those wonderful people (esp Molette and Delta Dave - is it possible you are one and the same?) who gave me so much help with my central issues, know that I am having a review at a different sleep lab. My GP agreed that what had gone before was unacceptable and shou...

Re: Comments from sleep specialist

Zoom in close on the airflow waveform and see how much air you're getting during the events. Sometimes, the machine triggers on something that's weird, but not that worrying. Even though you have a lot of events, at least they're fairly short in duration. Archangle Which graph do I look at? Sorry t...

Did you ask about the use of ETCO2 in any future studies? No sorry, didn't know anything about it.[/quote] At this point it's water under the bridge, but: BTW you might want to plant the seed of monitoring your ETCO2 when/if you go back for re-titration.
