RERA - E.W. - 02-23-2017
How important is your RERA ? The first night I used my DreamStation
I used it in cpap mode set to 14 cm . My AHI 6.55 and my RERA was
.97 . But I switched it to auto mode with a pressure of 10 to 18 and
while my AHI is now about 2 my RERA is now averaging 4.5 . Is a RERA
that high anything to be concerned about ? Perhaps I need to raise my
auto start pressure ?

E.W.,
If you are experiencing alot of RERA's, the minimum pressure is too low.
Also, the pressure range you are using of 10-18 is too wide.
What is your 90% pressure? Set your pressure range 2cm below and 2cm above that number. Example: If the 90% pressure reads 14, then set a range of 12-16.
RERA's are arousals that may or may not disturb sleep. Here is an article from the Wiki.
