Pillows mask, drooling
#1
Pillows mask, drooling
Hi !
I'm using a nasal pillows mask (airfit p30I). MY ahi numbers are ok (I guess); between 0.5 and 2. There's no leak shown on the Resmed app. The thing is that sometime I wake up and I notice that I've been drooling over my pillow. So it means that my mouth open at night.

Does it compromise the treatment ?

Does it means that my AHI numbers are not accurate ?

THanks !

RE: Pillows mask, drooling
Drooling doesn't necessarily mean that you're experiencing a high leak rate, although a high leak rate can compromise your data.

The only way to gauge your leaks is to take a look at your OSCAR chart.

Post some data when you get a chance.
