in [Sleep Disorder]

From: mccord on 19 Sep 2008 20:39 Many people, when they find out they have apnea, are really put off by CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) machines. I mean, you put on this mask thing, and breathe into it, and it blows air. With a non-conforming mask, regardless of the type or style using it impossible. However I have been using a CPAP for 3 years now, I am overjoyed with the new Swift LT mask by Resmed, I have tried about all of the Different Styles of Masks over the years have had leaks, sores and occasionally I slept. It a Nasal Pillow Mask, small and better, I my opinion, than the previous Swift II or any others designs and styles, that I had unfortunately used with limited success. Resmed has done a great job in slimming the mask down from its the Swift II version, a much light feel, reducing the the impact and claustrophobic feel of most CPAP masks on the market today. In all fairness a great second choice is the Opitilife with its channel cushion design, was a good second place favorite. In this Authors opinion, as well as a long time CPAP user. The new Swift LT Mask mask is worth a try and a goods night sleep is the benefit.

I don't find nasal maks to be claustrophobic. I found the Swift II to be quite noisy.

I find it difficult to put on and as soon as I lie down the pillow assembly collapses and I feel like I'm suffocating. I only used it a few minutes and went back to my old headgear.

Good seal, light, silent exhaust, and easy to clean. What's the trick? I tried it again last night and couldn't stand it for more than a few minutes. I have the clip that carries the hose over my forehead. I cannot get the pillows to a comfortable angle, nor can I get a tight seal. They constantly leak and whistle. |
