I don't know what your sleep tech meant by "pressure sensitive." You might want to ask for clarification and then come back and tell the rest of us. I'd be interested in knowing.

I do know there is at least one poster on this board who, when the pressure is high enough to stop obstructive apneas, has central apneas, so he's (or she, as the case may be) is in a catch-22.
