Just Started Using Resmed 10 Airsense Because of Recall.

I think it may be the mask. I feel like there is no ventilation. I use the full face mask that goes with the machine. With the Dream Station I could feel air venting from the mask. With this face mask, I do not feel any air releasing from it. Should there be air ventilation from the face mask?

I had a similar issue when trying different masks. Some of the masks have different types of pressure release vents. I'm currently using a ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask and it does have the vents on the hose connector to the mask. I didn't want to use the recommended mask for the replacement ResMed AirMini CPAP machine that replaced my Dreamstation Go. I was able to find an adapter for the CPAP hose connector that allowed me to use a standard CPAP hose and any mask I wanted to use.

Can you use the same mask you did for the Dreamstation?

Hi bcabell2005;
I think your mask, connecting elbow and tube need to be sure all is working right and you have a good fit.
I went from a nasal mask to a full face when I discovered I’m a mouth breather. I don’t feel as much air with the ff either;
I guess because it’s more diffused. I had to adjust the pressure higher and deal with swallowing air in order to get my events down. Also, if you wake up feeling breathless or restless, I’ve found it helps to have an oximeter handy; it tells me a lot about how well I’m being helped and whether I’ve just had an event or not.
Unfortunately this is a lot of trial and error; I’ve learned a lot from other patients on cpaptalk. com and found Cpap.com to be very helpful re: sizing and style. Also, their refund policy has always been honored.
Try your dme and sleep doctor first, but also do your own research. I read a lot on the internet(be selective)and learned a lot. It’s a process.
