Re: Transitioning from O2 to just ASV
I also think I read something about not having enough room under a mask for the carbon dioxide to build up appropriately...I was wondering if that's why I felt so bad on just the Eson nasal mask? It's the only one that doesn't leak if I cinch it a little tighter than I would like, but then there's h...

Transitioning from O2 to just ASV
I went from complex sleep apnea, to central, back to complex. I've always had trouble with masks so the O2 alone was a relief, until I went back to complex. I was on just oxygen for 2 years.The only mask that seems to not leak on me currently is the new Fisher & Paykel Eson nasal mask. But when I tr...
