CPAP PRESSURES
#11
RE: CPAP PRESSURES
On your next chart please put flow limits where you now have mask pressure.  Generally, we only need to see the first page and flow limits should be there. Also, if you can make your left panel just a little wider we will be able to read important information below.

You will definitely do better with the Vauto.  It's a wonderful machine.  My husband and I love ours.

Best of luck with improving your therapy and comfort! Smile

RE: CPAP PRESSURES
The VAuto can be run with about 9 or 10 EPAP, might be even lower depending on the chart results. IPAP up to 16 or so. PS 3 or 4. I would not change default Ti. for now. Unless there's a CA issue, Trigger and Cycle Medium. If there's some CA then Trigger High can be tried.

I'm not a good one to suggest bilevel settings. Although I use one someone else helped me set the machine. I'll PM the fellow who advivsed me. Hopefully he will come along with his usual excellent advice.
