Mary Z replied to Tom Cannon's discussion ResMed software update"I am only guessing that they are constantly updating, but the changes might just be with each new version of the machine. There was a long discussion on this on apneaboard and I believe the consensus was you can't update your machine as…"
Mary Z replied to Corey Stricker's discussion MRCA & infectious diseases"I think this is a question for your infectious disease doctor. I think I would want to change masks and get a new hose. Many of us carry MRSA in our nostrils."

Corey Stricker posted a discussionMRCA & infectious diseases
I am looking for advice regarding CPAP and infectious disease. A couple weeks ago I came down with a Staph infection, or MRCA, in my nostril. I have not used my CPAP machine since then as I have been waiting for the infection to clear up. I am concerned that the CPAP may have been the source of infection. If this is the case, I am concerned about going back to using the CPAP in fear of being re-infected. Is anyone knowledgable about MRCA and whether it can be transmitted through the tubing…See More
ZolliStar commented on Peter Esposito's status" I'm sure you've tried this, but if you haven't: Maybe you should change to a different mask?
FWIW, I recently tried a full face mask and can't say I really like it. I tried to get used to it,…"
ZolliStar posted a discussionSoClean CPAP Sanitizing Machine
Has anyone tried this machine? If it does what it say -- fully sanitize the mask, headgear and tank -- it sounds like a real benefit and likely worth the cost.https://betterrestsolutions.com/SC1100-SoClean-CPAP-Sanitizing-Unit_p_17.htmlSee More
joe replied to joe's discussion operation"I have recently had a small operation for the above.
It involves a small camera going up the nose and then you are sent to sleep.
When you have an Apnea the camera picks up what is causing it.

Henning replied to Henning's discussion Blood pressure medication and breathing."Yes, you can find links to OSA.
I think the biggest problem is that many of the side effects that can follow Enalapril, are also symptoms of OSA. Therefore, it may be difficult to separate symptoms.

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome — A Primer
Note: This is an edited transcription of a podcast recording
Today, we are going to spend the next 30 minutes talking about upper airway resistance syndrome, or UARS. It’s a relatively new description of a condition that’s related to obstructive sleep apnea but as you’ll hear in this podcast, has enormous ramifications in regards to so many health conditions that we see, not only in our field, but in almost every other field in general. I have to say, however, that this is a… Continue

D. W. Conn said… - Dr. Parks,
Could you explain Sleep/Wake perception disorders? Over the past 25 or so years there have been the occasional patients that want to argue to the death that they never fell asleep during their polysomnogram. The patients truly believe they never slept. All Stages REM, NREM and brief REM was observed. I had another patient such as this a few days ago.

- Dr. Park when scoring an arousal we know it has to be at least 3 seconds. Is there a maximum duration?

- Dr. Parks.
Would we see any changes with OSA or Central apnea when treating cardiac patients with ionotropic, chronotropic medications?

- Thanks Dr Park. I did decide my attitude was out of line. Please blame it on chronic irritability (just lately) and sticker shock. Still I would be interested in what your consult consists of.
I did delete the comment as unnecessarily antagonistic. My humble apologies.

- And thank you re: the mp3 file. That was the first telecast I've really taken part in. I've never had much interest in youtube, twitter, myface and telecasts and online videos due to being a victim of slow speed dial up as our only available option in our rural area.

- I so hope they will!!!! I've been absolutely enthralled w/DeVilbiss and F&P finally coming out w/fully data capable xPAPs! And delighted that PB has come out w/the new Sandman and would love to know more about them. Even tho I'm on bi-level. *sigh* I really LOVE my Resmeds and the ease of acess to so much data via the LCD screen. I really didin't lke the fussy access to the limited data on the Respironics. And I really HATED the power brick and platform of the Respironics too. The Resmed S8s have been such a CONVENIENT style, especially when traveling and changing motels each night. I was so sorely disappointed to see the S9s have the doggone extra cord and the power brick - two of the things I've hated most about the Respironics. I've got my fingers crossed that they will do a presentation for us!!!
And by the way - you sounded so YOUNG during the telecast!!!
