Is There a Dictionary Anywhere Around Here????

Post by deedster » Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:42 pm

Being brand new to this whole thing (going for titration Friday), I am trying to be an informed consumer. I read the posts about CPAP AutoPAP, BiPAP, C-Flex, passover, etc., but I get confused and forget after awhile.

Could someone in the know please create a dictionary of terms where newbies could read them all on one page and even print them out to refer to later on?

This would be a big help!!! Thanks!

Top of the page, just before the message start: CPAPopedia ( cpapedia.php?mode=view)
https://www.cpap.com - our host has a FAQ section.

Welcome, read a lot(!) and enjoy.

Yes, I read through those, but it would really help to just have a list of definitions in one post so I could print them out.
