Her respiratory rate seems to be going quite low. Should i be alarmed?
I have posted from a few months ago, when she was in the hospital and the past two days.
Thanks

Re: Help with my Mums cpap mask leaks up to 130 l/min / extremely dry mouth
I'm glad you're asking for help, even though that's not your usual way of managing. This is all hard enough as it is, and on top of that you've been dealing with some poor medical treatment for your mother. You might consider getting a recording O2 monitor for your mother to wear during the night. ...

In the past she was successful by having to pull the mask tigher similar to what I did last night. Unfortunatly this leaves lines on her cheek where the pressure is and a red bump on her nose.
