Apnea Board was created to promote " patient empowerment "-- we believe patients are their own best primary care provider. You can and should be trusted with the knowledge of how to adjust pressure settings on your own CPAP machine.
If you use common sense and take simple precautions, you can safely and properly fine-tune your CPAP settings to enhance the effectiveness of your treatment. We're not providing medical advice here, so we recommend you consult with a qualified sleep doctor before making any changes to sleep apnea therapy. You should never change settings on your CPAP machine without first having a basic understanding of how to properly make such adjustments.
CPAP pressures should be changed slowly, in small increments, over a long period of time, taking note of how you feel after each change. For a detailed explanation of how to determine the optimum pressure on your CPAP machine, click here.
Getting into the clinician setup mode on your CPAP machine is pretty simple, really.
