We go as high as we need to. Our machines go to 20, and we have gone that far with the pressure when the patient's respiratory events required it. (If a patient still has apneas at 17 or 18, switching to bilevel isn't going to help -- the EPAP is the one that needs to be raised for apneas!)
There is a lady in our support group who is on 18 and has been, for years. She wouldn't have it any other way. I guess CPAP probably feels different to folks who need it, as opposed to those of us who (happily!) do not.
