Annetta,
My tubing also comes packed in a circular fashion, I find if it is soked in
warm water first the kinks come out easily. I have disinfectant added to
the water to prevent any infections.
As for anxiety I have the oppisite problem. I am on the vent permantly
though I have the ablity to come off for about 3 hours comfatably and as
long as I have an ambu bag at hand I feel ok.
John...
