Abstract Background CPAP titration may be completed by automatic apparatus. However differences in pressure behaviour could interfere with the reliability of pressure recommendations. Our objective was to compare pressure behaviour and effective pressure recommendations between three Automatic CPAP machines Autoset Spirit Remstar Auto GK 420 . Methods Sixteen untreated obstructive sleep apnea patients were randomly allocated to one of the 3 tested machines for a one-week home titration trial in a crossover design with a 10 days washout period between trials. Results The median pressure value was significantly lower with machine GK 420 - cm H2O than with the other devices both after one night and one week of CPAP titration - and - cm H2O . The maximal pressure obtained over the one-week titration was significantly higher with Remstar Auto - cm H2O Mean - SD than with the two other ones - and - cm H2O . The .
