Hi, I just bought a resmed air mini for a 3 week trip and the resmed mask really does not work for me--my regular machine is a Philips DreamStation. I bought a converter online that allows me to attach the Philips mask to the air mini but I wonder if this is an acceptable use, or whether the differe...

Without intending to step on any expert toes here, I would like to challenge one assumption. Does OP actually NEED continuous flow oxygen? Or would pulse flow portable oxygen concentrators be sufficient? The theory behind pulse dose oxygen concentrators is that they supply oxygen when you need it -...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply and questions. I live at 6,000 feet, so definitely at altitude. I was diagnosed with "moderate, positional obstructive sleep apnea" in 2016 after an overnight test at a sleep clinic. I have that report. I had an episode of atrial fibrillation two years ag...

Thanks you--I hadn't considered that idea and will definitely check into it and talk to my doctor. It would be SO much easier to carry a portable unit. I appreciate your raising the possibility.

So maybe I need to try to find someone who can work with me more closely to figure out what is going on. Forum members can help in a big way, but it requires some effort on your part. Which model Philips Respironics machine do you have? You might have to look for the number on the bottom of the mac...

That's really interesting. So maybe if the CPAP were working better I wouldn't need the oxygen. I'm new to this forum and just read a thread about having a good support team. I really have no support team--I love my doctor, but she's not a specialist in this area. So maybe I need to try to find some...

my doctor has prescribed that I use oxygen with it

Do you have a lung or heart dysfunction that requires oxygen?

Apparently my oxygen levels drop enough during sleep--I assume because of apnea--that I need to have the oxygen at night.

Hi, I use a Philips Respironics CPAP and my doctor has prescribed that I use oxygen with it, so I got a Inogen GS 100 Home Continuous Flow Oxygen Concentrator. I hadn't been traveling during the pandemic and recently took my first trip. I took the concentrator with me in a suitcase as carry on, but...
