Not enough air

Post by Michelesleeps » Sat Jan 27, 2018 12:21 pm

My first nite of CPAP was a bust. Not getting enough air. And breathing out goes thump thump thump in the hose. Help!!! I turned off the ramp mode. Resmed airsense 10 autoset.

got to http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-p ... tup-manual and get the intrutions and clinical manual to adjust your machine
A mask needs air flowing through so you don't re-breathe the same air. min 6 should resolve most mask issues.
I would also download the free program sleepyhead, if you put some charts up, the forum will advise you more.
