Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Bruce.... I don't know anything about a cannula from the cpap to your nose. Most use a mask....did I understand you correctly? A mask can't fall off...it's strapped around the head.. Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Clues for not waking and finding cannula not in? Ok....I may or may not end up on CPAP. Now, I also know for those of you on higher levels the clue is quick when you wake up and can't breath. However, I've had several times I woke and the cannula was quite askew. Now this morning was the second time I woke and the cannula wasn't in at all, looked as if perhaps it had fallen off or may while asleep I just tossed it aside at some point. So, any advice? Anyone use those things to stick to cheeks? Any other ideas. Have others had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Not using CPAP at moment....so Cannula. And, by the way, you can get Cannula's for cpaps.....but not as good. As to falling off.....Cannula does....and actually you can twist the mask to where its off. Thats why some use special pillows. I have no idea what goes on in my sleep. > > Bruce....
