As our Duke University trained MD, PhD, DABSM Medical Director beats into everyone's head:

"Score the physiology." A forest does not cease to exist just because most or all of the trees have not reached a certain height.

What kind of clinical titration equipment are you using? ResMed CPAP titration equipment has a nasal pressure transducer built right into the unit. It leases for the same amount or less than a Respironics clinical titration unit. Just hookup a nasal cannula to the ResMed unit and that's it. No need to buy a pressure transducer! We use it all the time!

By the way...a pressure transucer generally makes all hypopneas look more like scorable apneas and airway resistance look like scorable hypopneas. The ResMEd unit lets you vary the pressure transducer DC output gain so you can tweak it for best results. You just can't lose with this system.
