Typical BiPAP pressure ranges to treat centrals?

An update ...

The night before last, AHI 0.42:

[attachment=11602]


Then last night, AHI 4.68:

[attachment=11603]



It's basically all clear airway and hypopnea events, increasing toward the end of the night.

I suppose I could increase pressure, but on the night with higher AHI the pressure isn't getting anywhere close to its upper limit of 10 cm. So I could increase the lower pressure limit, but the idea of setting a pressure floor of 8 cm or higher sounds uncomfortable. Also, could the PAP treatment be inducing the centrals?

You may find reducing the EPR may help try it you have nothing to loose for some users it helps Reduce the CA’s

But CA’s can be very inconsistent and the numbers can be different ever night with no changes to the pressures
