Full Face Mask Suggestion

I currently use a ResMed Nasal Soft Gel. I'm looking for a full face mask to use when I'm stuffed up. All suggestions are welcome.

Kudos to CPAP Talk

I escorted my wife to her PSG last week. The waiting room had the CPAP Talk video "What to Expect During Your Sleep Study". This informative video was well accepted by my wife and three other patients. The waiting room also had CPAP Talk trifold brochures for patients. Besides the standard vendor br...

Re: After One Week On CPAP

The numbers are an indicator of how your therapy is progressing. However, the best measure of the therapy is how you're feeling. DO you wake up feeling refreshed? Do you no longer need daily naps? Can yu read without getting tired? These were this issues I was dealing with prior to diagnosis and for...

Re: Poll: How Prepared Are You Regarding A Cpap Backup Plan

I've been 100 percent compliant since Day One. Personally, one night or one week without CPAP is not a life or death issue. If I lose power during the night, I take off my mask. I don't sleep as well, but I'll catch up when power is restored.

Re: After One Week On CPAP

What is your titrated pressure? I suggest you use the machine in CPAP mode at your titrated pressure.

Re: Nose Bridge - Nasal mask Options?

I use the comfort get nasal as my primary mask. I use a chinstrap to eliminate mouth leaks. The chinstrap is perfect solution for me. Prior to CPAP i was a prolofic mouth breather. I feel great and have an AHI of 1.5.

Good luck.

Re: comfortgel full

I've been on CPAP for ~3 months. I started with the CG full and eventually went to the CG Nasal with great results. I use the CG full when I'm congested with a cold - last night. I switched from the FF to the Nasal because of nose bridge sores and leaks. I resolved the FF nose bridge and leaks by fi...

Re: REMstar Pro Data Gathering

I use the PR System One Pro. The LED provides a 7-day and 30-day average AHI, compliance data and % time in Periodic breathing. As stated before, Encore Pro 2 software is required to read data from the SD card. Nightly data is written to the card. The software will produces detailed nightly reports.

Re: hose over nose vs hose below chin.......

I use the ComfortGel Nasl mask. The mask has a 360 degree swivel where the hose connects to the mask. This allows the hose to freely move when I move my head from the left to the right. I'm a stomach sleeper so this swivel feature make hose management a breeze.. When my head is facing to the right, ...
