Re: Squeaky elbow

Sorry the part of the elbow that goes into the mask frame may be the cause of the squeak I mean.

Squeaky elbow

I started trying out the dreamwear nasal mask and the elbow is making a loud chirping noise when I move around. Would putting some vaseline in the area where the elbow connects to the quick release help, or any other suggestions?

Re: Using a fan in the warmer months

Yes I have A/C, but that sometimes makes me even more congested than the desktop fan while sleeping.

Using a fan in the warmer months

Does anyone have a fan next to their bed in the summertime, and have any tips on trying to reduce waking up with a sore throat and stuffy nose? I have the cpap humidifier turned off currently and am using non heated tubing.

Settings for type of mask

For the settings on my cpap machine, I was told that I could select pillows for the airfit N30i nasal mask since they are similar to pillows. What effect does selecting the mask type on the cpap machine have in general?

Re: New sleep study

It's been several years since I had an overnight sleep study and mslt done and I'm going to be having it done again because of daytime sleepiness. My pressure setting that was determined from the last study was 8. If they find that a different pressure is better now, will the sleep doctor just tell...

Sleep meds

Has anyone taken a sleeping pill before their overnight sleep test? My sleep doctor told me that benzo's are ok to take before the test. I thought that some benzos suppress rem sleep though.

Any tweaks with this?

I have a resmed s9. My set pressure is 8 and I have a start pressure of 4. The maximum ramp time is 45 mins. The epr level is 1 and the epr is set to full time and the epr inhale is medium. Do those settings sound alright or do you suggest something different?

CPAP prescription questions

It's been around ten years since I got my last cpap machine. The prescription back then didn't say how long that it's good for, so would I likely need a new prescription if I want to get a new cpap machine through my insurance? I still have a copy of the prescription and I didn't see an expiration d...

Using resmed S9 without the humidifier

Is there a way in the settings to turn off the humidifier myself? I don't want to use any water. I had detached the humidifier from the rest of the S9 unit, but the climate line tubing hose won't stay in tightly when I connect it into the other part of the unit. I'd also like to turn off the heat fr...
