Re: vauto basics

. . . wish he was a little more flexible and not so rigid with his opinions (like offer both sides) . . . I think you set a particularly good example of not falling into that trap, if you don't mind my saying so. And, no, I didn't say that just to further derail Zonker's thread. (I'm sure I'll be a...

Re: vauto basics

Re: Replacement schedules/quanities for CPAP supplies with New York State medicaid?

It isn't even always standardized among the various Medicaid-plan providers within each state.

Re: After first year's results

Nice report! You should be proud of that. We don't say, "My exercise has been so good that I no longer have to worry about being active." We don't say, "I've been eating so healthy that I can now ignore what I eat." Likewise, we don't say, "My sleep-breathing has been so well treated by my PAP thera...

Re: vauto basics

Lefty's got a long history of thinking Respironics is 'better', against all evidence to the contrary. Not sure if he's decided that foamgate is a sign or not. Well, at least he's entertaining and educational, which buys him a good bit of goodwill and slack from me, here on the online-dog-and-pony c...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts9lNJ2g1IE [14:00] Brilliant idea to use the tape measure to illustrate it! However, I personally, as an opinionated nobody, totally disagree with his negative assessment of the beauty of keeping PS constant in auto with bilevel. Constantly changing PS (which ResMed...

Re: vauto basics

You can (1) learn the present accepted overall scholarly principles of bilevel titration in the United States; OR you can (2) learn ResMed's proprietary terminology and in-lab titration protocols for their VAUTO; OR you can (3) learn some random doctor's or RRT's personal preferences and rules of th...

Re: Attached by overnight sleep study- can you tell if side sleeping would help me?

The sleep study showed you are someone who is very likely to gain great benefit from PAP therapy, since your AHI is unacceptable in all sleep positions. PAP therapy is the gold standard for treating that and has the greatest potential to make your life much better on many levels. Fortunately you are...
