When the RESMART CPAP Auto apparatus with automated upper inspiratory limit is used, the exhalation pressure is set to 5-8 centimeters H₂O, the maximum pressure is 20 centimeters H₂O. In case of a two-level CPAP therapy, if the RESMART BPAP 25 Auto apparatus has the automated upper inspiratory limit, the exhalation pressure is set to 5-10 centimeters H₂O, pressure support is 12-17 centimeters H₂O, the maximum pressure is 25 centimeters H₂O. The humidifier operating temperature is 37°C. CPAP therapy is performed outside bronchial asthma exacerbation in the morning and evening for 30-60 minutes. At an exacerbation - prior to bronchospasm arresting from 5 to 16 times a day.
