Re: EPR setting S9 apap
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.
