I reset my Auto IQ machine about 2.5 months ago and want to do it again. However, it won't let me. I go to the clinical settings -> info -> reset data -> hold both buttons for about 5 seconds (get double beep). It reset the therapy and blower hours and averages, but it won't let me change the "Min A...

I only take them when I'm required to to keep a contract. I always seem to get sick when I get them, but don't when I don't take them. Besides, I'd prefer to be vaccinated on the CURRENT years' strain not what they think it will be based on last years' strain.

I missed the first complete post (edited into nothing). However, if I get the gist of it..... the question has been thrown out about using a dog to keep a sleepy person awake while driving. Ummmm..... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! All a dog will do is drive you to distraction - literally! Very much the same w...

Glad to know the night seemed to be better. Don't give up!!

Ok.... my turn. This is my regular mask.... Swift FX for Her http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a343/MedicRN/IMAG0197.jpg And this is my backup mask for those stuffy nose nights.... RespCare Hybrid http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a343/MedicRN/IMAG0195.jpg OMG!!!! These face-elephants make me look O...

OK, it's an old one, but I just have to post this one again. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517EOlJS6ML._SL500_AA300_.jpg Someone needs to make a "women of CPAP" calendar. Supermodels sleeping with CPAP masks and sexy lingerie. You could also have a Chippendale's version. Maybe a hard core v...

AbbyNormal...... Check your PM.

OK.... I feel I must come to the defense of my fellow nursing professionals. Unless you are a PACU RN, you don't know the monitoring alarms limits nor the policies which govern patient monitoring. Generally, SpO2 alarms are set with 2 levels (if the monitoring system is capable) - a low level (well ...

I see that you are 16. Be sure and get your parents involved ( I'm sure they already are). Refer them to this forum andto ask any questions they want. I certainly would want the best for my kids!

Keep us posted.

Bamboozled or not, this is a wonderful topic. It effects all age groups and genders.

I'm currently in-between insurance replacements and have no money to by a mask straight out. If anyone has Swift FX Bella Loops they are willing to give away, it would be greatly appreciated. Background story: I've been using Swift FX for Her since day one and absolutely love it. However, lately (fo...

I've never had an overflow problem. I fill it from the top straight from the R.O. filtration faucet. When I'm done filling it, I'll tip it toward the air intake port and dump any extra/overflow water. My 9 year old fills it all the time for me without any problems.

Correct. I was likely clinically dead, at least from a cardio stand point. My internal medicine doctor calls me a "Flat Liner", my neurologist is pleased he can speak to me. I knew my heart had stopped or was quivering because I could feel my heart back-filling with blood. Inflating like a balloon,...

Yes, I realize the topic is a-fib. I think some are interchanging it with the v-fib which is totally incorrect. Can a-fib convert to v-fib? Honestly, any rhythm can convert to v-fib given the right circumstances. The clots which form during a-fib can cause heart attacks and strokes. And yes, a-fib c...

A bit off topic, but the nurse in me requires me to say something....... V-Fib is a LETHAL arrhythmia! The heart is doing nothing but quivering and is not circulating blood. The only cure for this arrhythmia is DEFIBRILLATION (electric shocks) and that doesn't even work all the time. If it's not tre...
