Thank you - what a helpful straightforward video - I’ve been using cpap for just a week and it’s going to take a while to get used to it but understanding the options is really useful.
How can you determine the best size - medium or large - for a nasal mask? Particularly the length rather than the width.
I have been using the Resmed N20 mask but tonight I’m trying the Fisher and Paykel New Solo mask. I’ve already tried it on and seems very comfortable. One great thing I found already is that it’s easy to wear glasses with this mask on.Heres hoping it’s as good as all the hype.
How’d it go?
I use the Resmed N30i and F30i for when I’m congested. I tried the Dreamwear full face, but some reason the mask leaves the under part of my nose sore.
I do like that mask that you suggest (ResMed N30) but it doesn’t give me a great seal, I have marks on side of face. I’m going to try the F40. F30 was great one night (0Leak/min) and I was almost 100% at 99% oxygen, but then the next night, horrible drawdowns in SP02 with LEAK 18L/min with the same mask that gave me great sleep/0 leaks the night before. It’s so frustrating! I’m on ASV now as I failed on CPAP, then Bipap for a year, now ASV. Still getting big drawdowns. So frustrating. I wonder if there is any true help that works. I think it’s all about the Leak being controlled so therapy is effective, but maybe I”m wrong.
What mask do you use??
So far I am a fan of the Resmed N30 and the F&P Brevida.
Its not call nasal cradle..its called hybrid - the under the nose.
Bedtime skincare issue for full face mask...nasal is easier.
Thanks for making the distinction. Yes under the nose = nasal cradle. Nasal cradle + mouth covering = hybrid. Agree skincare can be an issue as the full face masks have a larger surface area. Timing would be helpful and if one can apply the products earlier and have them absorbed before putting the mask on would help.
@@sleephoria I have a hybrid full face mask and switching to nasal cradle style it's just easier. It's a waiting 30 mins after applying skincare then a mask liner ( you purchase a pack for the month) and then 4 cloth padding to reduce the face lines from face mask. It's additional expense. Nasals are cheaper, don't leave marks on your face, easier to put on and take off, easy to travel with, easy to do with skincare.
Full Face Masks are great for allergy season and mouth breathers but you sound like dark vador.
What mask do recommended for people who pull them off thru the night or poke thier eyes out? I tried 15 masks brought 4 types at $300 a pop and nothing worked .
