s9 autoset pressure ranges
s9 autoset pressure ranges
I have slowly taken control of my therapy and have seen better results. I do have a question on autoset maximum and minimum pressures. If the machine compensates for your apneas why do I need a maximum and minimum pressures? Wouldnt it be best to set it from say 1-20 and let the machine decide? I have slowly widened the pressure range and it seems like the machine almost always stays at the maximum thru the night when i check it with the software the next morning. I currently have it set at a maximum of 16 with 0 leak and it seems like the AHI number stays below 5. Why not try 17 for the high? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!

Re: s9 autoset pressure ranges
What kind of events are you having? Centrals, obstructives, hypos?
Re: s9 autoset pressure ranges
Higher pressures induce central apneas in some people. If you weren't titrated to high pressures, then it's possible that you might induce centrals -- that's why you should increase pressure very slowly checking your nightly data to see if centrals are occurring.
