Ventelator Machine

Hi, this is Judson. I was wondering if anyone has been told about the ventalator machine you get for your home. It hooks up to your oxygen concentrator and has a canula that goes into your nose like oxygen. If opens up your lungs to release co2 in your lungs so you breath better. I have tried it. I am going to get one to try for while and see if I like it. I will let you know how it goes. I am holding too much co2 in my lungs instead of more oxygen. This is supposed to help. Please let me know if any of you heard of it or you have tried it.
