oops, didn't see that it wasn't an ENT surgery. In that case, you should be on it during the surgery.

thats not true with everyone. You are right about the way the Co2 drives us to breathe, but I am serious. Do you know why they have that little flap on the full face masks in the elbow? Its because they didn't have the at one time. Someone didn't wake up when the power went off, and kept sleeping wi...

nope, i am married. In fact I would not have a problem coming out if I was gay. I am just sayin I am not, I am flattered that you show so much interest, but no thanks. No homophobia, I think gays have great style, and most of the ones I know are hilarious. I am just not interested is all. Even if I ...

well if anyone decides, just PM me. I am going home, and I will check my PM this weekend. From now on, those who know me can PM me. I will leave the rest of you alone.

nice.

so to put it bluntly, I have to let people say whatever they want, and just smile right? Just let people demean me right? Tell me, besides for nobody, who did I personally attack or demean? Nobody. THose who read my first post may not of liked it, but it was sound advice. Main message, you tape your...

I'll tell you what ColinP, the last two nights I had 4 patients. 2 of them were baslines (observation) 2 were CPAP titrations. My one patient last night that I was excited about, she had asthma, diabetes, depression, hypertension and COPD. She told me that she never slept more than 2 hours in a row ...

you know wulfman, I would love to be able to come on here and just relax. But everytime I click on the refresh button, someone else is saying something else negative about me. Why is that? Seriously, what is the problem here?

are you coming on to me nobody? I am not like that. Please stop following me around. You are being the troll. Take a hint. I don't want to be with you that way. I just want to be "friends"

what trend is that paul?

yeah, i was going to delete all my posts, but gave up half way through. besides, I met some nice people here I want to talk to still.

they are pillows, not a nasal mask. just to clarify.

if so, and want a brand new mask let me know. I am trying to get rid of the masks we don't use. I have one left, so it won't last. I would prefer giving it to someone who has crappy insurance, or no insurance though.

of course its going to take sometime. When I say fixed, what I mean is my patient is titrated completely. I understand not everyone out there had a complete titration their first time around, but the difference with me is if I know a patient isn't fully titrated, I personally contact the reading doc...

My tech thought I was fixed at first, but it turned out I was bilevel. I don't think my patients are fixed, I know they are fixed. I make sure I get 2 cycles of REM with no respiratory events out of them before I let them go (while supine). I also do follow up with them 3 days 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 mo...
