In Need of explanation of results of Cervical Collar Experiment

RE: In Need of explanation of results of Cervical Collar Experiment
Thank you Bonjour.  Shy

(I did not mean to imply that I felt special about my airway.  I was referring to the following that was posted to me by another member :

"Impression is that measures to correct positional apnea such as using lower or different shape pillow or a soft cervical collar will likely help , however flow limitation is constant and may be the result of physical obstruction in the nose or upper airway.  Higher EPR will slightly improve this flow limitation by offering more inspiratory pressure support, but flow limitation may not resolve without bielvel pressure support of 4 to 6 cm.  A professional medcal evaluation of airway (nasal pharyngeal) to identify the cause(s) of upper airway restriction should be considered. Overall, while the event rate is mild with CPAP treatment, this kind of sleep disruption is very difficult to tolerate and the sufferer normally complains of non-restorative sleep and poor therapy results.")

Regards as always,

I got lost between your other thread and your email to me, I do suggest that you get this thread merged into your other thread, I just spent 20 minutes searching for this thread which should have been in your main thread.
