You have it configured so it gives you none of the the benefit of ASV. Why? I'd say you want a max PS of at least 10, and of pressure at least 15, if not more. slowriter, can you help me understand why my configuration has decreased the benefits of an ASV (i Imagine I have somehow decreased the dif...

OK, should I start at a low max pressure (like 9?) this is my first time doing PAP therapy.

I have not tried any PAP before. Do you guys have any good links on this approach? w
