I learned on this form that with a titration pressure of 14, the machine has too far to go from 6 to get up to 14 to stop an apnea. Since the machine increases the pressure slowly, then checks to see if my airway is cleared, by the time the pressure gets high enough, I may have had an apnea.Peaktagger wrote:Why has the low end been bumped from 6 to 13? Not that that is a bad idea

The Autoset II can be used with EPR in the Auto mode. The settings are 1,2and 3. They drop the pressure 1, 2 or 3 cm H2O. I have mine set at 2 and it helps when I exhale.
