Re: Vacation Home Machine?

Two machines are a great idea. Why pack up a CPAP machine if you don't have to? I would just look at the screen on the second one for information as needed or use OSCAR.

Re: Tell me what you think

Thanks so much, Pugsy. I did not know anything about CPAP at the time that she needed it so I had to do a lot of "homework", watching YouTube videos and scouring CPAPtalk, etc. I had mentioned her stopping breathing during the night and some other sounds to her former oncologist against her wishes b...

Re: Tell me what you think

Thank you, Pugsy, for your clarification especially about how she is doing. I respect your invaluable input and I believe this puts everything to rest. I thank you for being so brutally honest which actually helps me and I respect you for that. Do you have any thoughts on the Dreamware over the top ...

It's not a "private group".
It's a public forum anyone can read.

I sent you a more detailed private message.
Thank you for the detailed information. I read the PM and it all makes sense now.

Re: Tell me what you think

Pugsy and others... off subject a bit. I was searching for info about mask leaks and CPAPtalk subjects came up. If this group is private, why can I find so much information on the internet just by doing a search? I thought whatever I wrote her would be private since it is a private group. My wife do...

Re: Tell me what you think

I am a caregiver for my wife who uses CPAP. How do the leaks look? I am just an old fogie who needs some guidance. if her ahi is so low and she is sleeping and feeling good, why worry about leaks? That is kind of how I felt. Just wanted to check and make sure. Thanks for the input. you are most wel...

Re: Tell me what you think

I wonder if it is just the nasal cushion moving around. Entirely possible it is mask movement...how old is the cushion and how old is the headgear? Headgear is new. It is changed every six months. The cushions were changed every two weeks, however, now every three weeks because they always look in ...

Re: Tell me what you think

I went back on OSCAR from January to the present. January and February look good regarding leak rates. Not many days even over 20% high leak rate. It is not until March that she is going up and down. She has mostly high, however, some are very low. I wonder if it is just the nasal cushion moving aro...

Tell me what you think

I am a caregiver for my wife who uses CPAP. How do the leaks look? I am just an old fogie who needs some guidance. She has been using CPAP for almost 2 years. She said she feels fine in the morning and had no problems. I hear what appears to be a lot of air, however, that does not bother her and she...

Re: How is my wife doing based upon these two screenshots from OSCAR

Hello to all my friends! It has been a while since I posted. I just wanted to make sure that my wife is still doing satisfactorily. She sleeps through the night getting up once or twice every so often. I continue to hear a lot of air at different times during her sleeping time. She uses the Phillips...

Re: Air not coming through in large volume through tubing

Have you used OSCAR to see what the pressures are trending now? Maybe the mask fit feature no longer thinks it needs to use high pressures for mask fit because the machine just isn't going very high anymore? Thanks, Pugs, for the input. I attached the mask minus my wife LOL and it worked blowing pr...

Re: Air not coming through in large volume through tubing

I tried everything that has been mentioned. Nothing happening. It is no biggie, I guess. I was only using the mask fit option to blow a large volume of air through the tubing prior to my wife hooking up for sleep. Everything else is working fine including her use of CPAP and the pressure she receive...

Air not coming through in large volume through tubing

I usually turn on my wife's Resmed 10 machine and push mask fit to allow a large volume of air through the heated tube. All was working well until tonight when only a very minimal amount of air was coming through. The machine was purchased in February 2021. Any suggestions or comments?
