Mask type vs pressure?

Post by bowfan » Mon Feb 16, 2009 8:09 pm

Hello all,

Are certain mask types (in general) more likely to work better with certain pressures?

Nasal, nasal pillow, ff ...

I know it is a very general question, but hard to search the forum because of that same reason. Got lots of hits... Didn't know if any studies or polls have been done.

Thanks!

Some will say yes but I use nasal pillows at 18/15 on auto many nites it reaches 20 or 21 cm. So you will have to be more specific.

You can also narrow your search. There is another box to search only those results.

But I HTH.
