At this point, we have a choice to continue at this setting, or to increase pressure slowly and see if that have a positive impact on oxygen. The principle behind a higher EPAP pressure is used in mechanical ventilation to increase "positive end expiratory pressure" (PEEP). This improves lung recruitment and increases partial pressure for oxygen to transfer to the blood stream. In theory it may help, and my only reluctance is that you're already achieving what we would want from CPAP therapy. So I'll put it out there and let you make the decision.
We can go ahead with increasing the pressure. Which pressure are we going to change? Min./EPAP pressure/EPR/Max.?
