Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Thanks, Pugsy! I don't know that the full face mask is my cup of tea either, but I thought I'd get one to try and to have one in case of nasal stuffiness as a backup. I'll update when I know more.

Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Thanks for all your help, Pugsy! I often have a very dry mouth with my BiPap, so I assume it's mostly mouth leaks. I am scared to tape my mouth shut due to reflux that I have that can lead to aspiration if I am not careful. The reflux is under pretty good control, but the possibility of dying in my ...

Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

I was wearing the Resmed Ultramirage II nasal mask all night. I use a Resmed chinstrap as well. I don't think the leaks woke me up. How would I know? As far as I remember I slept soundly except when I got up to use the bathroom. Can you tell anything about the central apneas I had---were they signif...

Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Thanks Pugsy! I will keep things as is for now. I am actually quite happy now, as I feel more rested than I have in a long time and my AHI is finally under 5, which it hadn't been on the SystemOne fixed BiPAP 17/13 for some time. I believe that having the lower pressures with the auto BiPap has help...

Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Pressure was 13.3, exp. pressure 9.4, Leak was 49 L/min but still with smiley face on leak. Spont cyc was 95%, total...

Re: Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Thanks---I awake several times (usually 3-4) each night to go to the bathroom due to diabetes/getting old/prostate issues. When I awake, I take the mask off right away. I have the machine set to Smart Sense so it turns off and on each time I take the mask off or on.

Need help with settings on Resmed Aircurve 10

Hi, I purchased a new Resmed Aircurve 10 Vauto due to the Philips recall and my system one being from 2014. My BiPap Rx is old from 2008 but called for fixed 17/13 pressures at the time. My AHI had been creeping up on my old system one from below 5 to in the 10 range with 25% leaks showing (I use a ...
