Hope2Sleep Charity Helps with India's COVID-19 Crisis
Sorry the forum hasn't been as active as normal as all of us at the Hope2Sleep Charity have hardly had chance to breathe (except in sleep with our masks on thankfully) as we've been so busy.
We've worked day and night to rise to the challenge to help with the devastation we've all seen on the tv about the COVID-19 crisis in India. It's so much worse there than it's been here in the UK as children and pregnant ladies are seriously ill and dying, which wasn't common happening here.
Our charity were in the position, thanks to Creo Medical who donated to us oxygen concentrators and non-invasive ventilators which they had bought to help with the UK's pandemic. They and us were able to help UK hospitals in need, but the surplus equipment we had left has now been donated to India and has now reached the rural hospitals who needed it the most - all £130K of life-saving equipment! This couldn't have been achieved without a wonderful non-profit of UK doctors called BAPIO, who arranged the free flight and logistics to ensure it went to the right hospitals. Not only are these UK doctors doing wonderful work at raising money for India, but they're also doing ward rounds via Whatsapp to help the doctors and nurses out there.
Although this was exhausting it has been both a humbling and emotional experience from us all and what truly teamwork at its best!
Safe Arrival at Hospitals in India
You can read more about this in the Hull Daily Mail https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/health/hull-charity-lends-help...
It was also featured on NDTV and was good to see the doctors from BAPIO unloading for the flight at Heathrow. Definitely great teamwork by all!

"Hi Nick thanks. Does it do the job and could you camp with it?"
CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"
"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

"Ha well it lasted a couple of days but started howling again. But it's a step in the right direction, just needs a bit more work."
"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"
"Did anyone tell you exactly what the anatomical issue is, Jonathan?"
"Can't say I know about this."
"So I tore some fabric from one of the filters and glued it over the holes - and it worked!It was dead quiet, and the air was still flowing freely.It was quiet all night then after a few hours a bit of whistling until I gave it a wipe.Vast…"
