Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Just reporting back in. Wow this Resmed machine is great. I have been in struggle town with my Dreamstation for the past 2 years. I had that thing dialled in, but was still feeling like i'd been wrestling with a soul sucking apnoea monster every night. The staff at my local pharmacy were amazing, bu...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread
I registered mine here in Australia. But it is going to take forever for them to even look at the paperwork. So i bought a Resmed. Way way better already. When i finally get a new one or refurbed model i'm hopefully going to sell it and get some of my money back. F.U. Philips When you get a chance ...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Onward! splendid! keep us up to date on your journey, won't you? Morning. Or afternoon depending on where you are in the world. I experimented with changing my EPR to 2 to 1 as i felt like i was out of breath on the exhale. EPR=2 is more comfortable but there were a few more CA events on the first ...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
and there is the proof that you ARE headed in the right direction! i have just a small suggestion? try not to worry about those numbers too much. let the machine go for another couple of nights and see what happens. it's my humble opinion that the numbers will take care of themselves now. concentra...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Second night on the Resmed. The night before last i didn't use CPAP as i've been coughing too much from this stupid post covid. The OSCAR isn't too bad. There are a couple of OA and CA, but not heaps. How does my Flow Limitations look? Also when i was using my DS i had the Flex off and was ok with i...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Well. I thought i woke a bunch more than i did. But i was having some crazy dreams. But from first glance at OSCAR, the readout looks pretty good compared to my dreamstation. https://imgur.com/a/H6UVuxe how did you feel that morning? sometimes, how you feel can be a better indicator than what your ...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Why can't you use your CPAP? Uncomfortable or have you been advised against it? CPAP has been instrumental in helping those with COVID and post-COVID recover quicker. Not advised. I've just been have sinus issues, also the uvula and throat areas. So using nasal pillows, the air hits those areas and...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Purchased my Resmed Airsense 10 Auto! Lookingfoward to giving it a go. But been suffering from post Covid lungs and throat so i can't use my CPAP for a bit. Have an inhaler that should help. Fingers crossed I can fire up the Resmed soon!

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Thanks for the reply. Well, I'm going to jump on the Resmed wagon. Good Aussie company. It's got to be good! A long time ago, long before it came out that Philips was using crappy foam in their machines because they'd apparently rather put their customers at risk in order to save a few cents, I cam...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
From what I understand, Resmed machines do a lot better job at reacting to flow limitations. Resmed just does a better job at reacting period, in all aspects. :) Here are some zoomed in sections: https://imgur.com/a/sKR3fNx I don't see anything that looks even vaguely worrying in those two screensh...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Thanks for the reply! Can you run me through the importance of flow limitations, or link me to something? I'm actually going to trial a Resmed machine for a couple of weeks. My Philips is due for recall anyway and am thinking I might get a Resmed and try to sell whatever Philips replace it with. Un...

Re: Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Respironics has never really explained the importance, or lack of, with the variable breathing statistic that their machines provide....at least I have never seen it explained. To my knowledge I have never seen a ResMed machine give a variable breathing report so I don't know if they even bother wi...

Variable Breathing - Philips v Resmed question
Hello. First time thread long time lurker etc etc... I'll try and make it brief. I started CPAP a while back, but have only got the machine dialled in over the last few months and as a result my AHI and events are really low and my sleep has definitely improved. But i'm still not waking super refres...
