Re: Awoken at night with high pressure
Most likely it was the apnea event itself that caused the awakening and when he was awake then he noticed the higher pressure because the machine was trying to prevent the airway collapses. People often blame the pressure increase when it could very well be the apnea event itself that the pressure ...

Re: Awoken at night with high pressure
Having the ramp on for 45 minutes just prolongs therapy and it's useless anyway with the minimum pressure being 4 cm. Ramp takes whatever time to get up to the minimum setting and the machine can't go up to 4 cm...the lowest it will go is 4 cm. Might as well turn the ramp off. The machine won't fla...

Re: Awoken at night with high pressure
Hi all, I bought a Resmed Autoset S10 with Airfit N20 mask recently for my dad since he was diagnosed with OSA years ago. He just started to use the machine 4 days ago and got awoken every night due to the high pressure blowing into his nose. So he barely used the mask for whole night but only for ...
