cpap and bipap machines
What is the difference between the Resmed Airsense 10 and Aircurve 10? I have a dreamstation and looking to upgrade soon.

RE: cpap and bipap machines
As I recall, ResMed AirSense 10s are CPAP machines with dark coloring except the For Her edition. AirCurve units are BPAP or Bi-level in various strengths. The most popular AirSense would be the AutoSet with or without For Her. The VAuto is the best BPAP unless you have special medical conditions such as COPD or Central Apnea. These may be better served with other AirCurves like an ASV, ST-A or an actual NIV ventilator if bad enough.

RE: cpap and bipap machines
The pressure when you inhale is called IPAP and the pressure when you exhale is called EPAP. The difference between the two is called the Pressure Support (PS).
The AirSense series of machines allow you to set the PS at only 1, 2, or 3. They don't call it PS, they call it EPR, but it's the same thing. The AirCurve series of machines allow you to set the PS at much higher values. Among other things, PS makes breathing more natural and comfortable since the pressure is lowered when you exhale.
