ICU?> MASK

Post by Sammie » Sun Apr 24, 2005 8:35 am

Got a question, I am going on a cpap soon, Ultra Mirage full face mask, umm, is this anything like a Oxygen mask in the hospital, I had an ambu bag for like 2 months on me constantly when i was in an accident, could i get some info?
Heres what I was on in ICU:

I guess thats the closest thing i could find to it, i was on like 75% O2 so how much pressure does this thing give off, ect. ect.

Sammie, I haven't gotten mine yet. I'm supposed to pick up my BiPap and ResMed Ultra Mirage FF mask this coming week.
I do know this, though, from reading things in this forum. Each person has a pressure that is determined from your sleep study/titration. The pressure I need is 11. I have a copy of my study which states this. The pressure you need may be 15, may be 8. It can be anything. So I don't think anyone here on this forum can tell you exactly what pressure you'll be on.
Good luck to you. (and me)
I'm sure others will jump in and help you, because they are a great bunch.
