EPR at Fixed Pressure

Post by RES9372 » Wed Aug 02, 2023 3:29 pm

Dumb question - If I set my APAP to a fixed pressure of 8, does the EPR still work? Or will it not even work since I'm at a fixed pressure and it can't drop?

EPR will still work like it normally does even when someone has a machine set to fixed pressure...like cpap mode.
You don't have to be using auto adjusting mode to get the benefits of EPR.
