After using Airmed Airsense 10 for a year and only lowering AHI from 16 without therapy to 9 with therapy and 80-90% of AHI being Central Apnea's, I am trying a Resmed VPAP Adapt machine to try to lower my Centrals.
With the Airsense 10, I was using a pressure setting of 5-20 with EPR of 3...doctor had me using a constant pressure of 5 with an EPR of 2 as well but in both cases, AHI was always averaging 8-12 with mostly 85% being Central Apnea's.
With the VPAP Adapt machine in Auto ASV mode, what settings would you recommend I start with for Min EPAP, Max EPAP, Min PS, Max PS and start EPAP?

Re: Resmed vpap adapt initial settings
Thanks for advice.
1st night with the Adapt on default settings was best night I have had in a year!...AHI 2.77 (2.04 Hypopnea, 0.72 Unclassified).. Will post some charts after a week or so and see how may be able to fine tune settings.
