Flow Limits How to Upgrade CPAP to Bilevel
RE: Flow Limits
(10-26-2023, 08:51 AM)PeaceLoveAndPizza Wrote: You can also consider getting a Bilevel which will likely not only get rid of the bulk of the flow limits but possibly allow a reduction in pressure as it seems to be your flow limitations that are forcing you to use high pressure. You can get one from the suppliers on the wiki or find one used on Facebook marketplace/Craigslist (caveat emptor).

For now follow Stacey's advice of trying a bit more pressure. You don't have much room left before you max out the machine, but worth a shot.

Hey Pizza, this post sounds exactly where i am headed as well.
Following exactly what SleepRider says.
Just have to get my data together.
Looks like 8 cm, EPR 3 is my baseline with my CPAP unit for now.
Any suggestions?

Thanx for posting Deborah, and congrats on monitor status !
