xPAP tuning tips for PB / CA - R and R - 06-11-2024

Hello folks,

Understood that an AVS / ST-A capable device would be best for treating periodic breathing / central apnea

Is there anything we can do with a standard APAP in the meantime to improve the number of PB stabilizations?  Here we can see a stabilization but then as the pressure dials down the PB restarts with greater hyperventilation amplitude.

Would keeping the iPR on 3 and fixing the pressure to say 15.5 potentially be better than what we are running now?
