[Treatment] OSCAR data showing concerning info?
#11
RE: OSCAR data showing concerning info?
That makes sense! 

I’ve been thinking about a full face, like The f30i. Mostly because I rather like the unicorn va the elephant trunk. Seems like it’s more comfortable. I have a beard too and I know full face masks are already difficult to get leaks under control. A buddy of mine has the FitLife full face that goes over the eyes and swears by it, but I’m just not sure. I’ve looked at so many I just don’t know! The nasal cradle ones seem like they leak a lot, too. The DME highly recommended the p30i and said that was the only one he could use. It still seems like the right choice. Maybe I can just cancel the mask fitting if this one keeps going this well. 

Any suggestions on full face options? Should I just kinda stick with this mask for a bit and see what happens?

RE: OSCAR data showing concerning info?
Sure. As always I'll have an opinion.

I didn't like ResMed F20 very well in either AirFit silicone or AirTouch memory foam cushions. I could never get a good mix of leak control with decent comfort.

My go-to masks will be Fisher and Paykel. I had started with a Simplus and later a Vitera. It was much better than an F20. Light tension was enough to get control of leaking.

Simplus is the older, Vitera is newer, but there's been new models so take a look. There's hybrid style as well which is part nasal and part full.

Attach OSCAR, etc.
