quote:Autos are set for a range, instead of a set pressure. The machine uses sensor to measure back pressure and advance computer algorithims to adjust the pressure, both up and down, to keep the airway patent. If you have obstructive sleep apnea and are on an auto, you are always getting the correct pressure. The eliminates the need for a restudy. Let's say your pressure needs change because you are now 10 years older, gained weight, LOST weight, etc. The machine adjusts the pressure based on what is needed, therefore your apnea is always being treated.
I use a CPAP and have been considering a new sleep study since it has been over 10 years since the last. I also suspect my old machine is not putting out as much as it should.
With the newer technology, you dont even set up the output on it? How does it know what the output should be? I'm confused.
