RE: Clarify/ Increasing Epap for snoring /arousal ?
1) Is this conclusion (see bottom) part true about epap and ps in terms of prevent CA?
Comparison of Settings Option 1: Increased PS to 4.4 cmH2O and EPAP to 5.6 cmH2O PS: 4.4 cmH2O EPAP: 5.6 cmH2O IPAP: 10 cmH2O (PS + EPAP) Risk: Slightly higher risk of central apneas due to increased PS, which might cause hyperventilation. Option 2: Increased EPAP to 6 cmH2O and PS at 4 cmH2O PS: 4 cmH2O EPAP: 6 cmH2O IPAP: 10 cmH2O (PS + EPAP) Risk: Lower risk of central apneas as PS is moderate, and EPAP is increased to keep the airway open. Conclusion Option 2 (Increasing EPAP to 6 cmH2O and keeping PS at 4 cmH2O) is likely better for preventing central apneas. This approach maintains a balance between preventing obstructive events with adequate EPAP and minimizing the risk of central apneas by avoiding excessive PS.

Please show the entire OSCAR chart as specified in the wiki. See my signature for the link.

Just so you know, using the trigger setting on your AirCurve will help centrals a lot. Setting to high or very high has taken away all of my centrals. If you have real large amount of centrals an aircurve is not the right machine, a ASV is the correct one.
