RE: EPR and Centrals
Yes! The difference in pressure during the change of respiration direction will cause a CO2 washout in the body. CO2 is responsible for triggering a breath reflex.

RE: EPR and Centrals
In treatment emergents central are caused by lower CO2 levels. Meaning your Cpap is doing a good job. EPR helps you with flow limit and H events (both are but different levels of apnea).
And because of this some people get more centrals using EPR. THEY usually go away after using it a few weeks. So we do move people off and back on after central go down.
