Re: new user central apnea advice

I don't remember if the prescribed settings used EPR with the AirSense, but I think the pressure was 20. I didn't know anything about settings and didn't know I could adjust them. After a couple of futile conversations with my doctor I just gave up.

I will try S mode 7.0 and 9.4.

Thank you

Re: new user central apnea advice

Pugsy, I went into settings and am unsure what you mean by fixed mode. Options are CPAP, S and VAuto. If I use CPAP mode, what set pressure do you recommend? If I use S mode, should I leave the pressure settings as they are now in VAuto?

Re: new user central apnea advice

Thank you Pugsy. Thank you Miss Emerita.

My sleep study was at home so yes it was at 7000 ft.

I will try fixed mode for a few nights. But is this going to feel like the AirSense 10? I couldn't tolerate exhaling at a high pressure.

If this doesn't work I will try turning off the PS.
