Pressure for Full Mask vs Nasal Mask
Pressure for Full Mask vs Nasal Mask
I currently am using a Phillips Dreamwear nasal mask. I am considering changing to a full coverage Dreamwear mask. Will a pressure change be required with this mask change?

Re: Pressure for Full Mask vs Nasal Mask
Maybe....maybe not.
Normally though when mask types are changed the pressures are not routinely changed as standard practice.
A lot of "it depends" gets involved.
Best thing to do is start with same pressure and monitor result. Sometimes a little bit of an increase is needed but it's not set in stone.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.
