considered when....
What is aerophagia? The swallowing of air
What is maxillomandibular advancement? Treatment that involves cutting and advancing the upper and lower jaw bones;
enlarging and stabilizing the posterior airway.
What is the PRIMARY function of the EPAP setting? To eliminate desaturations and arousals.

snoring still occur at 16cm, what levels of BiLevel should EPAP: 10
be used?
