Respiratory

[TinyLady]

shelly21 - I hope you get on OK with it all. My latest CO2 was fine so all seems OK at the moment but I do feel NIV is something I need to start reading about and getting my head around, so your post has been really helpful, thanks x

Well my respiratory appointment was good. Blood gas, co2 really good. Basically from oximetry when I go into dream sleep my oxygen dips and wakes me up.
so only mild at the moment.

Issued the nippy 4 which is tiny and comes with a battery. I've been given a tiny nebulizer also. All meaning I can get them on bedside table.

The cough assist is bulky but seriously I've used it twice and its helping lots.

Ellie your info on the humidifier is a great help thank you.

I can understand now why some cannot tolerate n.i.v it is a weird sensation. I plan to build up over a few weeks.
