Pressure and EPR Question

Post by Bluebonnet_Gal » Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:48 am

In an effort to get the most out of my xPAP therapy and achieve that elusive energetic and non-sleepy feeling, I've been trying different settings on my VPAP. I currently have it set in CPAP Mode with a pressure of 17 and Fulltime EPR of 3.

My 95th Percentile Pressure seems low to me. For last night, my 95th Percentile Pressure was 14.8. I realize with EPR on Fulltime, my pressure does not remain at 17 all night, but it seems to me that 14.8 is rather low. Is there something I'm missing? Some other setting I need to check? Or is this normal?
