Do I need a BiPAP?

RE: Do I need a BiPAP?
You have significant flow limitations, and a bi-level device like mine can help .
As for tuning your current instrument, I am not familiar with its capabilities. If you can define a difference between the EPAP and IPAP, then you can improve your situation. Judging from the pressure plot, you have this capability and are using about a 3 cm difference. Try to increase it to 4 cm if it is within the capability of your instrument.

I'm not so good with the Prisma line, but fortunately we have a good wiki to help optimize. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...timization
