Thank You Mike for getting back to me. I am first going to go to a Neurologist to figure out the headaches first and then sign up for the second sleep study. I want to get to the bottom of the headaches first. Thanks for the information about the ho…

- I haven't had any experience with the daytime sleep study. I know that they have you awake for so long and then you take a short nap.
Post your question in the discussions and some have had the study and will make comments and tell you more.

- Welcome to the Sleepguide community!!
I am glad you joined and hope you find it as useful as I have. The forum contains topics dealing with sleep apnea and various treatment options and methods of treating both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
The forum is made up of patients, like me, and professionals that are trying to help find solutions to the problems faced by those that are affected by sleep apnea.
Some patients experience problems that are not addressed by their DME. Their experience with their DME, may have been little more than handing over their machine and mask and sending the patient on their way. The forum is here to help both the newbie, just starting out with therapy, and those more experienced and knowledgeable to find solutions and answers.
The professionals that participate in the forum are invaluable with their expertise and advice on different treatment options and explanations of what is happening.
We hope that you find the forum useful and will participate in the discussions and groups

So which one of us got it right?
I do not just love him. I think he makes sleep look sexy!
Yeah, well, jnk is one sharp cookie for all his protestations he is "only" a patient!! And his comment planted the question in my head. Blame him!! Dontcha just love that guy??
I thought jnk had me for a minute. great question Judy.
I know. I rather like it too. *wicked grin* Doggone jnk is just too darn level headed.
The two major manufacturers have similar "comfort features" but use somewhat different terminology. Since determining the settings for these "comfort features" require that the patient be sleeping how on earth is the local DME RRT going to come up w…
You could very well be right jnk. I have never been in this situation. Those settings are hardly ever discussed.
It would all depend on what the minimum maximum window is Judy. Maybe I am missing something on this one as I do not fully understand your question.
In general Carol, steve is right. Your case and many others prove the need to treat the pt rather than the rule.
Keep them coming guys! Thank you so much Judy. Ask anything you want. It does not matter if it is on the test or not. Put me in any situation you like as I am bound to answer based on the same set of rules.
This would be a question of protocol. For which I would refer first to my P&P. Which I do not to believe to have a policy on these types of comfort adjustments. Which would leave to clinical judgement. Clinical judgement tells me that I can adjust f…
Judy thats evil.....I like it
very timely welcome to the forum
Wishing all the success for your trial ordeal exam i am confident you will breeze it
You are titrating a patient on bi-level. The patient has slept well and you've found what seems to be the IPAP and EPAP needed for this patient. The patient has COPD. Can you adjust for Rise Time, Ti Maximum and Ti Minimum, Exhalation, Trigger and C…

Hey DW ~
Great hearing from Brandon. Please tell him from me that I'm glad he asked in and that I think he's amazing - way ahead of his time -- the wave of the future. And would you also tell him that I hope he keeps voicing his ideas about everyth…
If anyone would like to help me study this week PM me your email. i will send you questions to post on SG.
Do you mean where they go, or why they are used? The first thing that I am going to do is draw out the complete 10/20 when I walk into the room.
