Re: Mixed apneas and aerophagia - needing new machine
As the saga unfolds; The dr did not circle the order that would have mandated an ASV titration but instead, circled the one that had a criteria for ASV titration so the Sleep tech did what the order specified. Now, trying to get the Dr to fix his mistake (you know, they never make mistakes, right?)....

Re: Mixed apneas and aerophagia - needing new machine
Just as a follow-up: My sleep study finally happened but the first night of it, going in, I had not slept much for the 3 previous nights (full moon) so I was pretty much not sleeping during the study period. Came back the next night and they did the titration and though I did show some central apnea...

Re: Mixed apneas and aerophagia - needing new machine
So I am getting down to the wire and actually going to get to see my Sleep dr. this week. As a followup question, would the Dreamwear AutoSV be a better choice or better equipment?

Re: Mixed apneas and aerophagia - needing new machine
Thank you, Pugsy, for your confirming summary. I just could not find the comparative detailed information for these machines. They seem to give apples to lugnuts type details. The variability of my nightly needs just keeps it all so interesting. I just cannot trust a one-time meeting with a dr that ...

Mixed apneas and aerophagia - needing new machine
Hi, Its been a while but we have ended our full-time RV lifestyle so I now have a place in our house to put any machine I may need. Sleep study said I was having some mixed apneas but my biggest problem was/is aerophagia so I have been using a DeVilbiss D57HH Autointellipap BIPAP pretty successfully...

Re: It's Not Always Acid Reflux!
Aerophagia can give similar problems as acid reflux without the normal wholesale evidence. A PAP machine that forces air into the stomach during exhalation also holds that esophageal passage open long enough for some of the acidic vapors and small particles to be carried up into the throat as the pr...

Re: Replacing 420E - What is as good?
Update time: 2/2013 I was never able to find a solution to my quest. Back in 2011 finding a replacement was elective for me. I had a few problems with the 420E but I was able to work around most of them and no other machines at the time seemed to be a complete solution. The whole shtick of the red t...

Re: Replacing 420E - What is as good?
This is all good information. I have considered getting a gently used 420E so thanks for the suggestion. I have also found a few DME that still have them in stock. I was hoping that the technology had moved forward, though, not backwards but I am an optimist. I have yet to find anything particularly...

Replacing 420E - What is as good?
I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary on a machine. My first night was 9/11 (yep, that one) and it was a Goodnight 418P (I first did my homework in the forums). It died due to lightning, about 4 years later and was replaced by a 420E (again, thanks to the forums). Although the replacement was hav...
