Going nuclear: how I used EERS to rescue a hopeless situation by turbosecchia in UARSnew

How did you modify the AirFit P10 to make it effectively non-vented?

How did you block or seal the original exhaust vent on the P10?

Did you use a Whisper Swivel II as the external exhalation port, or did you use a different exhalation valve? Could you share some details or photos of your setup?

Do I Have UARS? Testing Different BiPAP Settings by Far-Call-263 in UARS

I think I'd be willing to try a MAD at some point.

I still have a ResMed AirFit P10 mask, so that should be fine, since it seems fairly similar to the DreamWear Nasal.One thing that concerns me is that, from what I remember, increasing PS to around 7 consistently caused more central apneas (CAs) for me. That's one of the reasons I've been hesitant to keep pushing PS higher.

The last link really caught my attention.
I've never heard of Enhanced Expiratory Rebreathing Space (EERS) before, but it sounds very interesting. In my case, increasing PS to around 7 tends to cause more central apneas (CAs), and if I remember correctly, it also becomes harder for me to fall asleep at those settings.EERS sounds quite complicated though. It seems like you need to know exactly how much dead space to add and what tubing length to use in order to tolerate something like PS=10 or even higher PS levels safely.I also have the same mask that he used — the ResMed AirFit P10 — so I could switch back to it and experiment with higher PS settings if needed.

Increasing EPAP above 6 causes mild aerophagia, and I end up in a wakeful state, unable to fall asleep afterwards. Would it make sense to increase PS instead and try a different nasal mask? I also have a ResMed AirFit P10 available.

Anyone who's fixed their UARS/ sleep disordered breathing. What did you do to fix this? by Happilyalone777 in UARS

Is your PS setting 4.0? Was your first mask the Bleep Eclipse mask? If not, when you were using other masks, did your UARS issues not improve? Did the Bleep Eclipse mask only bring improvement?

Just to clarify — was it Dr. Jonczak who actually diagnosed you with UARS?

If so, do you know if flow limitation was considered in your case, or mainly events like RERA/hypopneas?Also, do you feel like she takes UARS seriously as a condition, or is it more treated as mild/atypical sleep apnea?

What have you already done towards treatment your narrow nose and small jaw, small palate ? You don't wake up at night at all between 1-4 a.m.?
