Hello Bleepers: Just starting and on 5th day. Are you setting your machines for "Nasal" or for "Nasal Pillows?" Thank you!

Never thought about it. It's still on nasal pillows from when I was using the P10.

Pillows is what a resmed rep told me. Said it was based on dead space.

That makes a lot of sense. I'd always thought there was an assumed value of vent flow that might play into it from mask type to mask type, but when you consider how the machine distinguishes between centrals and obstructives by sending pressure pulses, the "chamber volume" of the mask would play into that.
