Changed Pillows/cushion, pressure now off?

Post by bran » Thu Apr 25, 2024 9:46 am

Have a Resmed Curve 11, VAuto setting. Been using the Airfit P30i cushion Max IPAP setting 15.00. Min EPAP 6.00 with a start EPAP of 5. PS 4. Ramp 20 mins.

Insp. Pressure. 14.1 Exp. Pressure. 10.1(Last month using the above)

Nostrils just getting a bit sore plus occasionally one getting blocked so thought I would give the N30i cushion a try as it just fits over the nose as opposed to nostril inserts. Tried albeit for 3 minutes last night. Slightly too much air when I breathe in but hardly any air breathing out and it's making it very uncomfortable and wondered what pressures need to be adjusted? Plus surprised that I need to alter the pressures and wondered why? Is it because this cushion has a larger area of air to circulate as opposed to the nasal pillow?
Many thx...

Anyone? Anyway, I changed the mask settings from Pillow to Nasal and this appears to have helped but breathing out I think needs to be altered just not sure in which direction? Also regarding this site cutting out or not being able to establish a connection as was mentioned a few weeks ago, noticed this happening quite a lot today?

Not just today and not just you.

I have no answer for your problem with the mask and pressure. I have never had that happen to me no matter which mask I might have been using. It's not common for sure.
