Leak data for Dreamwear full face mask

[dinojr38]

Hi, I recently switched from Dreamwear nasal to full face as I thought it would leak less. However it seems to be leaking even more than the nasal cradle mask. I am still very early in my CPAP treatment and can't sleep the full night yet so the data below only shows a few hours sleeping with the mask. I was wondering if anybody could provide any feedback?

Much appreciated!!

Generally, full-face masks leak more than nasal masks, but getting your new mask to leak less is certainly doable.  It may need to be tightened slightly, or it may need to be loosened slightly.  Too tight or too loose can both cause leaks.  Experiment both ways until your leaks drop a lot. Getting the right mask and stopping leaks are probably the most common problems with pap treatment.

Also, your beginning pressure is for sure too low.  4 is generally used for children.  You need to raise yours to 7.

I hope things improve for you soon!
