Tooth Extraction And Using Humidifier
Hi, I posted earlier asking whether I could use my BiPap after a tooth extraction, thanking all who replied, I figured I'm better off using my machine. Wanted to know if it were ok to use the heated humidifier and to what number if so.

Re: Apnea wakes me while on Bi-PAP
These are some good questions. I guess your post has been overlooked because I'm surprised nobody answered yet. I'm no expert, others can answer you more fully and I don't know the reason or reasons you awoke gasping for breath. As I read on the forums, there can be dozens of different reasons why a...

Re: Am I Getting Wrong Tubing From DME?
Yes, I did delete the post after I looked closer at the picture. Didn't think that anybody had seen my post but thanks to all that replied. Yeah, that's the pic with the brown shadows, all right. Ends look the same to me. I'm also aware of the performance tubing, but haven't seen a pic that I recall...

Re: Mask suggestions

Am I Getting Wrong Tubing From DME?

It's a given that they always will mess the order up and I'll be on the phone with them tomorrow as usual. I asked for a small Ultra Mirage. The woman wrote the correc...

Re: Can Cigarette Smoke Damage BPAP/Hurt Therapy?
Thanks for the honest answer.
I'm no longer a smoker and if smoking comes along with this lady then I'll have to put up with smoking.

Re: sleep onset apnea
Hi Grace, I have the same problem when falling asleep but my nightly reports (on EncoreViewer) show this problem to usually be caused by hypopneas (once in awhile by apneas). Is it possible that you might have hypopneas when falling asleep? Hello everyone- It's been a long time since I've been on he...

Actually...the residual smell you smell after she comes in from smoking is now termed "third hand smoke" and supposedly it is dangerous as well. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/03/health/research/03smoke.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081229105037.htm http://pediatrics.aappublicat...

Riv,
Whether a person smokes or not shouldn't be THE measure of their acceptability.

Re: Can Cigarette Smoke Damage BPAP/Hurt Therapy?
Well, as you know smoking inside a home can get surfaces in that home covered with a film from the smoke. Given she goes outside to smoke you will be spared the direct contact but there will always be residual contact. How harmful that will be over the long term is the big question here. Google "ef...
