I can guarantee that the most widely used form of CPAP uses between 4 and 20 cm of water pressure.

It may not be the most widely used, but it certainly one of the most prescribed by doctors too lazy to properly determine a patient's optimum therapy pressure.

Considering that anything outside this range requires a special (and more expensive machine), it's a pretty safe bet!
