When I woke up in recovery he had hooked up his gear to my gear, supplementing the air from my machine with 3 liters of O2. Getting the the Dreamware mask on my face was a challenge since he had never seen one and I was still way under the influence. The RT was thrilled at the way the hose came off the top of my head and didn't interfere at all with anything the staff had to do. He hadn't used the Dreamwear line before and really liked it.
For the next four days straight I got to use my own familiar mask and machine day and night. The VAUTO ran like a champ with no hiccups at all. Other than the short walks they let me take it was on my face and blowing. Because of the pain meds I tended to drift off into naps quite often, so it was best just to leave it on.
Some people have had mixed results using their own equipment at hospitals, so I wanted to document this very positive experience. Two thumbs up or Dreamwear, Resmed, and the hospital and staff.
