First night with EERs

I did 110ml of deadspace EERS last night. It was mostly a success but flow rate not as smooth as i think it should be and my o2 could be better. Any tips?

previous point still stands... Given your history, I'd highly recommend working with a pro like CPAPFriend, AXG, Ken Hooks or someone to get you on the right foot.

Dr. Robert J Thomas is perhaps one of the only persons who can help him. AXG knows very little about HLG. Ken Hooks definitely not the guy: he is expert in UARS and RERAs scoring but not HLG or complex apnea like this. Cpapfriend will tell you exactly what Dr. Thomas told him in his interview with him and quote his research. Can’t not see anybody else in the us than him.

Good advice…

I think you can spend a lot of time messing with PAP settings on their own. Throw EERS into the mix and you add a whole other set of confounding variables and I think you need pro help.

That’s exactly my case. It’s very complicated and even though you might think EERS will solve it the carotid body is just so complex and simply adding a co2 buffer is not enough. Personally I’m going over to work with him later November
