hi, Im buying an auto cpap for my mom for the 1st time...
and still confused on which auto cpap machine & Mask to buy
after seeing all the review looks like the best options are either
Resmed S8 Vantage EPR Auto CPAP Machine
or
S8 AutoSet II CPAP Machine
Mask im still not sure which might suit her being a new user ???
Please help me in deciding whats best for mom ... her requirement is 12 cm H2O

Re: still confused about Auto Cpap machine & Mask
Moana,
The mask really has a lot to do with 'how' your mother breathes -
If she is able to breathe 'easily' through her nose then a nasal mask or nasla 'pillows' mask is a very good option.
If mother gets sinus problems or has any nasal congestion or restricted airflow, for whatever reason, then it may
be better to be looking at a full fae mask, but, some people have quite a bit of difficulty getting used to F/F masks.
Do you have ay feel for what type of breating we are looking at ?
Good luck
