When it says Patient that means that you can change it to whatever you want.
All Patient means is that you have access to changing the EPR setting from 1 to 2 to 3.

EPR settings are a per cm reduction in pressure during exhale...a setting of 1 is a 1 cm reduction..a setting of 3 is a 3 cm reduction. It won't ever go below 4 cm though....so if you used a 6 cm of pressure with 3 ERP..it won't drop to 3 during exhale instead it just drops to 4.
