Adjusting CPAP Pressure on Your Respironics REMstar System One: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Respironics REMstar system is used for people who suffer from sleep apnea. The machine provides continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, to a person while he is sleeping. The system includes simple controls that allow the user to change the air pressure during the night. Before you go to sleep using the machine, adjust the pressure to a level that is comfortable for you to handle throughout the night.
