IPAP: 19.0 EPAP: 4.0 Wow...that is a big difference between EPAP and IPAP. Do you have any lung/respiratory issues that might cause a need for such a big pressure support of 15 cm (Pressure support is the difference between EPAP and IPAP and 15 is a bit unusual).

That said, it would be useful to get a better idea of exactly when the even...
