What To Do When Soft Cervical Collars Fail

RE: What To Do When Soft Cervical Collars Fail
I am very hesitant on having any kind of surgery including the Inspire implant. I have read post here on the forum of people who has had it and it almost sounded like they wished they hadn't had it. You also mentioned other tongue restraining devices and was wondering what were they.  Right now I am on IPAP 15 and EPAP 11 with PS on 2 which is the setting you suggested 2 1/2 years ago that worked great till now. Should I increase both or just IPAP and should I increase PS?

Well looking back through this thread your best results by far, were with EPAP min 13.0, Max Pressure 17.0 and PS 4.0, so I think there is a lot to be said for higher pressure in your case, and you seem to have already proven it.

Thanks Sleeprider. I will try those settings again and hope it helps. I went to a new sleep doctor recently who is an ENT thinking she might want to do a DISE to take a look at my airway but she didn't bring it up so I didn't either. She said she would like to do another titration study on me though.
