Re: Your minute ventilation numbers

mv.jpg May 14 was a forgotten card. Usage bar verifies compliance!! Thank you, very much! I was hoping for a high-rate excerpt, but the stats are also helpful. What is the darkest green? There are four shaded areas (my ResScan only shows the three), so besides median, 95% percentile, and maximum, w...

Re: Your minute ventilation numbers

when the minute ventilation is lowest, it should be around 6.5L/min Normal minute ventilation is between 5 and 8 L per minute (Lpm). https://www.acepnow.com/article/avoid-airway-catastrophes-extremes-minute-ventilation/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Your minute ventilation numbers

I would like to ask you to share your minute ventilation values as reported by your machine, specifically, while in REM (best guess, but lowest plateaus). The reason is I feel I plateau too low, often at around 5L/min, especially since my vital capacity is much larger than most people (around 7L). W...

Re: Mysterious banning for spam has hit again...

It seems like the days of this forum are numbered. I've seen so many others disappear. Anything that is grassroots, and thus does not serve the financial interests of somebody "special", gets shut down and replaced by AI-driven madhouse cesspools. :x I don't think that mentioning the name of the "ho...

Re: CPAP with generator

Just look into what they call nowadays a "portable power station" with enough energy-storage capacity and pure sine wave output - which is the part that addresses the alleged higher sensitivity of the AirSense 11 to waveform uniformity (that some gas generators or UPS may provide); hard to believe n...

Re: Sinus Congestion

While too much humidity can cause nasal congestion so can not enough added moisture. I get horrible sinus/nasal congestion if I don't use enough water in the humidifier.

Re: Mysterious banning for spam has hit again...

You guys know that I guess I could be more proactive about removing junk posts that don't add to the thread's worthiness .....as a starting point for cleaning up the "distractions". If you all would quit the pissing contests there really wouldn't be much to distract you. I already make it so you do...

I've never really had problems logging in, or being banned, but I have seen the blank images for avatars (the site looks so much better that way! :lol: )

McSleepy
are you saying the site could use less of those sights?
:lol:
... and many other "distractions'! :wink:

Re: Mysterious banning for spam has hit again...

I'm having small issues logging in. only once has it given an error message. if does again, i'll be sure to report what that message is. mainly it just takes much longer than usual and even that is intermittent. what i've noticed over the last week is that some avatars seem to be missing, including...

Re: GREATLY Need a Mako/Infineer DT-3500 Smartcard Reader

Is that the one that came with the ResMed S8? Because I had that one, but I don't remember where it is. I may have sold it, but I could look again, if needed.

...there are AGM deep-cycle batteries that are designed to be fully discharged each time; I just looked one up and their estimated duty cycles are cut by more than 2/3 when repeatedly discharged 100% - 1000 cycles vs. 300 cycles. Personally I would just go with the one I could use without severely ...
