activation of pressure relief. Thus, the treatment efficacy can be ensured by increasing the device pressure in fixed CPAP or by enhancing the full range of pressure in APAP. In the latter case, a well-functioning autotitration algorithm is indispens- able. In addition, the pressure-relief features allocated for ther - apy should be enabled prior to the titration process. It should also be noted that the device-reported pressure in pressure- relief APAP is not comparable to that without pressure relief. CONCLUS I ONS Pressure-relief features may lead to attenuated CPAP treat- ment efficacy depending on the applied settings and the device. In clinical practice, the therapy efficacy can be ensured by in - creasing the therapeutic pressure or by enabling the pressure- relief features prior to the manual or auto titration process. The pressures in the pressure-relief APAP device reports are not comparable to that of conventional APAPs.
