Hi all,

I thought that I'd try to increase the Ramp Pressure from 8 cmH2O to 13 cmH2O which is closer to my median pressure requirement and saw the AHI reduce further compared to the night before. Love making these small gains!!

Looks really good!

But keep an eye out for 'aerophagia', which tends to occur at high min. pressures - and you don't want to have that happen.
