Bilevel Improves Compliance

There’s an article in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine just published about the use of bilevel in treating non-compliant CPAP users. Worth reading and worth appreciating that bilevel is sometimes the superior choice in contrast to straight CPAP.

Holes in Tubes

Today I was cleaning my PAP therapy tubes for my bilevel device, flushing with water, and for the first time I actually saw a thin stream of water squirting out of the side of the tube. I’ve heard of this before, but never seen it, and of course wondered immediately whether or not I was losing significant pressure during the night. Never felt it or sensed it any way, but if there was a difference, hopefully I’ll figure it out tonight…er, tomorrow morning.
