[Equipment] Fabrication of an Enhanced Expiratory Rebreathing Space (EERS)

RE: Fabrication of an Enhanced Expiratory Rebreathing Space (EERS)
Issue 3. The full-blown test should be in a WIKI article.  We don't have the same restrictions there. PM SuperSleeper to get Wiki editor capabilities.

Excel workbook will be fine.  Ultimately converting to a table for the wiki or a screen print.

The ultimate goal is to provide an article which can be read and understood. By the reader and backed by the solid data.  The charts are important because that is how most users review their data.

I figured to center around that.  And yes the important part is the constant EPAP.  EPAP is the pressure that manages obstructive apnea

I don't want this to go where you are uncomfortable either in range of pressure or physically.

Randomized order, as I said I defer your expertize there.

Okay.  I only partially understood what you were saying but this helps a lot.  I will use the constant EPAP of 5.  This means that when I set the EPR to 3 the min pressure will be simultaneously set to 8 and EPAP will be 5.  When I turn the EPR off (corresponding to an EPR value of 0) the minimum pressure will simultaneously set to 5 with the EPAP also at 5.

I do have two nights data at max pressure of 18 (with EPR off).  One night was fine, but the second night I had some difficulty exhaling against that much pressure.  I think I should probably not go all the way to 18 or 20 on the max pressure, but know I can tolerate a max pressure of 16.

16 will be fine
