That's what I'd do, too, if I had been prescribed a straight pressure of 16, but was using an autopap in auto-titrating mode.

If I had the EncoreViewer software to see my detailed data results each morning, I'd set the Auto with A-Flex at 9 - 20, Aflex at "3"

If I did not have software, I'd set the machine at 9 - 16, Aflex at "3"

I'm not a doctor -- just a well self-treated autopap tweaker/user.

?? Why a-flex versus c-flex? I don't know the difference between the two.

C-flex provides relief only during exhale.

A-flex provied reflief at the begining of in-hale as well.

Ok... Sort of a mini-ramp to taking the breath so that you don't get that ram-air feeling when you start a breath.

Exactly.

I like ram-air.... but only in my car's air intake please

You betcha dere, eh! (A liddle bit of up nort' lingo for da holidays...)

I'm getting a ram-air hood for my trailblazer but I don't need the same effect on my lungs. I just want to sleep...
