Are CWP and cm H20 the samething?

Post by GlennDL » Thu May 21, 2015 3:47 pm

Recently the VA asked me to get a copy of my sleep study from my sleep doctor. The study and my CPAP machine are from 2008. I noticed that my Polysomnography Report recommendation was for 15 CWP, but my prescription order was for, and my machine has always been set for, 13cm H20 ?
Is this a mistake? If so would I be safe adjusting my CPAP to 15 cm H20 ?

15 centimeters water pressure is the same as 15 cm H2O. It looks like you have been running a little less than that.

How do you feel?
