My Question Is What Is The Real Difference Between A Bipap Machine And A Trilogy Machine, There Is A Huge Cost Difference For Sure ??
Just I look on the internet for info and it’s confusing for sure. I believe they are trying to baffle us.. to use the most expensive.. anyone else have concerns about this.. I know they both are helping a lot of us.. just wanna know what is what ???
I have been on a bi-pap for 5 years and I am a shallow breather so it has helped me a lot for at night my breathing was slowing right down and the bi-pap helps me to get good breaths at night and I wake up feeling so much better, mind you it took me awhile to get use to it I use to have small panic attacks when I would take off my oxygen and have to put my mask on so I had to figure out what the trigger was for the panic attack and it was the removing of my oxygen tube so now i put my mask on but before I strap it on I turn my machine on and I start getting the air forced into my mouth so I can take the oxygen off and snap on my chin straps and then reattach the oxygen tube to the side of my hose...took a while to figure it out but now I get so much relief from it that on days that I am really out of breath I just lay down and put my bi-pap on and boy what a difference
The doctor said the Bpap helps in 2 ways to breathe and the trilogy helps in 3 ways. Open air ways. and keep them open, provide oxygen.
I been on trilogy about a year. I can't really tell much difference in it but my son says he can deffinately tell a big improvement after I wear it. My Dr says it is keeping me out of the hospital & alive. It is i very big harassment but gotta do what I gotta do!
I was convinced by my oxygen supplier to try a bi-pap or trilogy saying it would help me breath better. I too about crapped when I got the first statement. My co-pay went from a few dollars a month to over $300 a month. I talked to my pulmonologist and was told that the bi-pap doesn't treat sleep apnea like a
c-pap does. Needless to say, I went back to the c-pap machine asap. I had no trouble breathing with the bi-pap so if you can afford the cost, and don't need the sleep therapy, go for it. My advice, always check with your doctor before making a change. Have a great easy breathing day,
A nebulizer atomizes the liquid medication that you put in it so that it gets into your lungs, for some people this is better than using inhalers
TRILLOGY MACHINE
Does Anyone Use The Bipap Or Trilogy Machine At Nite?
Anyone Using Trilogy ??
