you can manipulate the pressure support settings. You can set a fixed PS if you wish by setting the minimum and maximum PS to the same number.

Unfortunately with the ResMed ASV the min PS and max PS cannot be the same.

Max PS must at least be 5 cm higher than min PS.

There is some evidence that the effects of CPAP therapy lingers for up to two weeks after cessation.

So a washout period is suggested for more accurate result if retesting.

The problem is that I am seeking to use an alternative treatment - just using the neck brace and maybe the wedge pillow. Hmmm you're on a CPAP forum. In any event, not sure how many sets of adhesives the test kit contains. However, the subscription kit ($75/mo) comes with 7 sets of adhesives. This ...

https://mva.maryland.gov/Documents/driver-fitness-medical-guidelines.pdf Maryland's guidelines are incredibly lax. If your AHI from your initial diagnosis is below 20 , you're golden. If it was over 20 then you only need a treated AHI of 19 or less to comply :shock: It feels like your doc is doing a...

When I test the mask or adjust the pressure higher though he doesn't like his cheeks inflating. (He notices it at a pressure of 7 or above.) Regarding the chipmunk cheeks, I read about someone overcoming the situation by inserting some gauze between the straps and the cheeks. https://www.reddit.com...

Okay, I'm trying ASVAuto but Max EPAP only goes to 15 not 16. I set Min a PS to 3 and Max PS defaulted to 8 FYI the max pressure can be up to 23 (Max EPAP 15 + Max PS 8 ) "Max PS defaulted to 8" doesn't mean you can't give it a higher number. My bad, I meant for his specific setting the Max Pressur...

You might want to take a closer look at the ASV again. I couldn't use the ASV because it didn't let me adjust settings like increasing the pressure difference between epap and ipap higher than 6. From the clinical manual for the equivalent autralian ASV model In ASV or ASVAuto mode, PSmin can be 0–6...

I set Min a PS to 3 and Max PS defaulted to 8 FYI the max pressure can be up to 23 (Max EPAP 15 + Max PS 8 ) There may or may not mean some aerophasia. You can try to work backward and subtract min or max PS from your Max Pressure. min E...
