I would say the autos are fine and the patient is the problem for using aging mask and headgear.Sunbrst62 wrote:Autos are great but they can be problematic such as raising pressures as a result of aging mask and headgear.
So, should I try the Auto setting?

"Problematic" for therapy as pressure can raise as leak volume increases. The result of the auto trying to compensate for leak.
Also the pressure raising is occurring at exactly the same time as mask efficacy is decreasing.

Re: So, should I try the Auto setting?
that is incorrect, machines *DO NOT* increase the pressure in response to leaks. in fact, some *decrease* pressure to help get the mask to reseal.Sunbrst62 wrote:Well said!Hang Fire wrote:I would say the autos are fine and the patient is the problem for using aging mask and headgear.Sunbrst62 wrote:Autos are great but they can be problematic such as raising pressures as a result of aging mask and headgear.

now, you may see more leaks BECAUSE of higher pressure, and people have gotten cause and effect reversed.
