A member asked:
What is the normal pressure setting on most cpap machines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: The pressure is selected with a CPAP titration which is part of a sleep study. A CPAP machine can be set with variable pressure to adjust to changes during sleep. Common settings are 8 to 11 cm of water.
