Re: How to lower AHI I’ve got a friends machine set at 8-17 on APAP
Depends on the breakdown of that AHI into the 3 category of apnea events whether more pressure is needed or not.
If it's primarily clear airway apnea events...no. More pressure won't help.
If it's primarily obstructive events (OAs and hyponeas) then more pressure will help reduce the number.
Don't forget...how he is sleeping and feeling is also important.
