RE: Clear Airway, CSR events
Thanks for the advice.  i will wait and see if the current reduction with lowered EPR could get even better.

Raising EPR along with min epap (min pressure on apap) CAN lower flow limits, if you just increase epr (lower epap min pressure) it can not lower flow limitations, as flow limitations need more mask pressure, not less (EPR reduces epap pressure).
How is this still going on here?

RE: Clear Airway, CSR events
We are telling him this because all of us have raised the EPR (in my case the PS) and it works to control and lessen flow limits. 

All of us are different and our experiences have different results but we need to work together to help the people on this site that need help.

If you had paid attention to my comments above and other threads, you would realize that I always suggest this approach in the APAP regime, where the software selects the increased pressure if, and only if, it is needed.
