Pressure Levels

[lanny]

I’m trying to understand my Auto CPAP machine. Let’s say I have it set on auto with a start pressure of 10, minimum pressure of 15 and maximum pressure at 20. I know that the machine will start at 10, but when I fall asleep does it automatically jump to 15? From there will it stay between 15 and 20 the whole time I’m asleep? Would it ever go below 15 the entire night?

We refer to the 'start' pressure as 'ramp', just fyi.

That depends on the machine, and how it's set. Since you haven't filled out your profile, I can't give you a good answer.

No.
