I know that there are CPAP ramps now but...I just hope I never have to have one, although my doctor has suggested sleep studies...AND CPAP.  |
I put off the study for six months after I freaked my wife out by stopping breathing when we were traveling and were sleeping close in a double bed instead of our king bed at home.
Severe sleep apnea is defined as stopping breathing something like 7 times an hour. The study showed I stop breathing 60 times an hour! I need the CPAP so bad they loaned me one while mine was on order.
I do have the new fancy one that ramps up. The first few months I would stop breathing sometimes and it would have to ramp up to hurricane velocity and I would wake up with my cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk and the sound of a hurricane!

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

They would be so loud that the people staying in the room with the patient would complain about the noise.
And it's worse if there is a leak around the mouth or nose.

It is a device that blows air into your lungs using a tight fitting mask that goes over your nose, or nose and mouth to keep the alveoli open. Now they got masks that will fit over your whole face. The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lung where respiration (hemoglobin exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen) takes place. It also keeps the soft tissue open in the back of your pharynx by a lot of air so that it is able to get to the alveoli.
Like I said, to me it feels like sticking your head out of a fast moving vehicle and trying to breathe. But...if put on the patient's face right, it achieves the purpose.
I used to laugh with some of the patients in the way they would do to put it on their face. Some would require the fancy ramp. Yet, others would hold it for a short time, then quickly attach it to their face.
We even had straps that would hold the chin closed because some people's mouth would fall open while they sleep and all the air would go in their nose and out their mouth.
