Dynamic-APAP: AlgorithmDetails • An epoch = 2 minutes • Goal: Acclimation phase to a new pressure, no provocation of events or arousals • In general: pressure change at the end of the epoch • Response to snoring (after six breaths) , immediate response to obstructive hypopnea (oH) & obstructive apnea (oA), up to two times in the epoch • eSO events: oA, oH Snoring > six breaths in the epoch • eMO events: RERA, Snoring > three breaths in the epoch

APAP: AlgorithmDetails • Pressure range (Pmax-Pmin) is divided into four quartiles • Dynamic depending on pressure range • Example Pmax 18 hPa, Pmin 10 hPa

Q1: 10-12 hPa Q2: 12-14 hPa Q3: 14-16 hPa Q4: 16-18 hPa
