Re: High AHI, Flat Pressure

I have a regular Resmed 10. I'll try upping the lower and upper pressure.

We will see.

Thanks for the help.

High AHI, Flat Pressure

AHI seems high, yet machine is not increasing pressure. Min set for 9, Max 14.4. However it never increases much above 11.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Restless night - thoughts??

EPR is at 2, I'll try 1 and see how it goes.

Re: Nasel vs Full Mask

Thanks all, I have a lot to learn.

I've always had congestion issues at night. When I wake up, with the nasal mask, nostrils are extremely dry.

Heading to doc in am for a checkup. Will see how that goes.

Re: Nasel vs Full Mask

When you were using the Nasal mask you were most likely losing your therapy out your mouth. I started with the full face, then later switched to the nasal. Better AHI with nasal - do you think I was losing therapy but my AHI was decreasing? Thanks for the input. I will also raise the min to 10 and ...

Nasel vs Full Mask

So, I've been on the CPAP thing for about 6 weeks. For the first couple of weeks I was using a dreamwear nasal cushion. It was fine for a week or so, then I had severe congestion and switched to a dreamwear fullface. During this entire time AHI was between 10 and 15. I upped the pressure, especially...

Re: Transcend Mini CPAP

Resmed and Transcend (EPR?) set to -2. So I THINK they are set up the same.

Does anyone have experience with the Z1??

Thanks,

Re: Transcend Mini CPAP

OK, I've sorted where the problem is...

When I exhale using the Resmed 10, very little noise from the mask. When I exhale using the Transcend, lots of noise of air rushing through the mask vents.

Any ideas what would cause this. I was using the exact same mask.

Thanks,

Andrew

Transcend Mini CPAP

OK, this is probably a dump question... So I have been using a resmed 10 and a respironics dreamwear full face. Traveling for the first time with my Transcend Mini, same mask, same pressures, etc. I'm having a more difficult time falling asleep with the Transcend because of the air noise in the mask...

Re: Travel Insurance Compliance

Maybe the DME didn't explain in properly. I do have the 30 of 90 day covered. I will give BCBS a call.

Thanks,

Travel Insurance Compliance

Hi, I've had my Resmed 10 for about a month now. I am going to be travelling for a couple of weekends and then later on for a two week trip. For convenience, I purchased a Transcend Travel CPAP. I've used it a bit while sitting in my office and it seems to work OK. I'll have to see how the lack of a...

Re: AHI over 10

Have not heard about mask liners. I will check them out if I can't get a good seal.

Thanks

Re: AHI over 10

I am fitting at the lower pressures.... I'm upping the lower pressure and going to tighten the mask.

Thanks again.
