Changing masks?
G'day,
I've been using a CPAP for the last 10 years, same machine, same mask. If you change the type of mask used, say going from a nasal mask to nasal pillows or a full face mask, are the pressures supplied from the machine required to be changed?
Cheers,
Mick.
Hello @Bones In general they don't need to change the pressure from your machine. However, some people who have higher settings on their PAP machine will sometimes find that different masks styles do not deal well with the higher pressures and tend to leak more. Your equipment provider can help you with going over the different masks that may or may not leak more based off your specific pressure needs. Hope that helps.
