Re: Crazy High AHI's : is it even possible?

Seeing pulmonologist tomorrow. Will report back. Majority of events after AHI jumped up were clear airway events or unspecified apnea. My obstructive numbers have remained stable. Without going into further detail, I think the narcotics are the culprit.

Crazy High AHI's : is it even possible?

I use a ResMed S9 autoset set at a pressure range of 7-16. I use a Fisher and Paykel Flexifit 431 mask. I have had sleep apnea treated with CPAP for 3-4 years. Usually my AHI is in the 3-5 range with an average pressure of 10. Over the last month I have seen a run of very high AHI's. The highest has...

Re: Quattro FX -- Please post feedback on it

I have been trying the new Quattro FX. I have been a faithful user of the Fisher & Paykel FlexiFit HC431 Full Face for one year but when it leaks it makes loud noises (for lack of a better word it sounds like loud farts). As much as men love fart noises the wife is not amused. So I ordered and tried...

Can you sell a used mask?

I'm a new CPAP user and have been trying out different masks. Most times I purchased CPAP.com insurance but one time I didn't. I have a Resmed Mirage Liberty that was used only for a few hours and I don't know what to do with it. I tried to list it on ebay but they removed the listing. Surely there ...

Re: Swift great at first now have problems

The above is my post. I posted before I logged in so it posted as a guest. I apologize for posting before searching the forum. I have found several answers for the "blowfish" problem on various threads but I'm still not sure why it didn't happen the first week and it is now. Any thoughts? Also do an...

Re: S8 Autoset and Respironics Nasal ComfortGel

Thanks. I spoke to CPAP.com and they said to use the Ultra Mirage II setting as it is a nasal mask similar to the Respironics. I still would like to know what the mask setting actually does. If anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

S8 Autoset and Respironics Nasal ComfortGel

I am a family physician and a new CPAP user. After a lab sleep study (AHI=20) and a home CPAP titration study I started with an S8 Autoset 2 last week. The S8 was recommended by several respiratory therapists I know. (a colleague wrote the prescription in case you're wondering). I got the S8 and a Q...
