... think demonstrate that, based on my understanding of mouth exhales on a flow rate curve. But please correct me if I'm misunderstanding it. I feel ... I'm finding a decent pressure that has enough IPAP to stop my flow limitations while not overwhelming my system with a high EPAP. Please note ...

... Effect (Negative Pressure): The nose acts as a crucial regulator of airflow. When it is blocked (due to a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, ... pulls the throat tissue inward, narrowing the airway and causing flow limitations. and The "Straw" Analogy: Think of your airway as a tube. If ...

I guess I just am still confused because if I am only breathing through my mouth then how could I be getting flow limitations from nasal obstruction?

Bear in mind that nasal congestion can and will show up as increased flow limitations and no amount of pressure changes or increases will treat or take care of nasal congestion. Have to treat the nasal congestion in the traditional way....decongestants, nasal rinses, saline spray, etc.

... 9, epr 3 on 1/18. I have a really hard time understanding what my flow rate graph is showing me. It looks like there are a lot of flow limitations (also based on the flow limitation chart) and that they may be what is preceding ...

For anyone following this thread: SoftPap and EPR are not the same thing, And on Prisma machines that have SoftPap 3, does nothing for exhale pressure. It's meant for people who feel "airstarved" at lower pressure, and does some kind of inhale support. See https://loewensteinmedical.com/en/sleep-ap...
