EPR setting for Full faced mask?
So the sleep technician today forgot to play around with my machine(Resmed Auto sense 10) (Mask F20 Resmed) and I don't believe she even turned it on switch it to full faced mask or do the EPR. That begs the question, is EPR needed for a full faced mask? I decided to try out the new resmed full face mask which seems to be better design now. I am also looking forward to trying the airtouch

It's not needed but a lot like the sense of normal breathing. I would start in epr 2 and see how you go.

Re: EPR setting for Full faced mask?
EPR (or flex) should only be used if you have trouble exhaling against pressure... it's otherwise not needed at all.

EPR is a comfort feature. It can be used with any mask. There is no right or wrong

EPR (or Flex in Respironics) is strictly personal comfort no matter which mask you use.
Experiment with the various settings including off and use the one that feels more natural or comfortable to you.
