I need some input. I work in an area that we have minimum of a 2hr transport time. I need a good CPAP setup that will handle that and not blow through all the oxygen in two rigs combined. Using the current setup we have to flow at a rate of up to 25LPM to get about 10 of peep. Suggestions?
Please message me either on here or at nstanaway@gmail.com

Yes, The greatest thing since slice bread. I've used it on several pt.and have litteraly watched the respirations come down, co2 levels come down and o2 sats improve greatly. I also sleep with one, and get a great nights sleep.
