CPAP to VPAP first weak
I continue to struggle with my leak rates and still trying to lower me AHI. I average 9-14 AHI most of the time using my auto set. My sleep doc feels i am struggling to exhale against the higher pressures and it might be causing me ecess mask leaks as well. So he put me on a VPAP this week to trial ...

Leak rates for resmed.
Which leak rate numbers does every one check for their machines to try and watch their leeks? I am trying to really dial in on my leaks and not sure which numbers to watch. Everyone has kind of stated that the goal of 24 and under for the leaks is good. mine are twice that high. Is this simply the M...

Re: Mirage Quattro Problems....again...
lawman change the cushion as often as you can afford to. I would change mine every week if possible. Something about the seal of the mask, it quickly wears and does not seal properly. Good luck

But I have wondered if i could change it myself to see how things go. Or is that a bad idea. I have al...
