Bilevel positive airway pressure in tracheobronchomalacia. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2021 A 70-year-old man, with diabetes mellitus and systemic hypertension, presented with dyspnoea and productive cough of 10 days duration. He was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnoea 4 years ago, but was non-compliant with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy ...

Nocturnal bilevel positive airway pressure for the treatment of asthma. [PDF]
Respir Physiol Neurobiol, 2020 Nocturnal worsening of asthma may be due to reduced lung volumes and fewer sigh breaths, which have been shown to increase airway resistance and bronchoreactivity. We hypothesized that mimicking deep inspiration using nocturnal mechanical support would improve symptoms in patients with asthma.

Uncommon complication of bilevel positive airway pressure.
Indian J Crit Care Med, 2015 Sir, A 60-year-old lady was admitted in the intensive care unit with shortness of breath. She was having coarse bilateral crepitations with saturation of 85% on pulse oximetry. She was diagnosed as a case of dilated cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Adrenaline infusion was started to optimize blood pressure.

Indian J Crit Care Med, 2017 During noninvasive bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation it is found that several times patients are unable to maintain oxygen saturation and develop breathing difficulty despite its high setting and high oxygen flow, further management requires invasive positive pressure mechanical ventilation. Increasing oxygen concentration inside the

The Need for Titration With Polysomnography of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in a Patient With Hypoventilation Syndrome With Kyphoscoliosis [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Research, 2022 Attended noninvasive positive airway pressure (PAP) with polysomnography (PSG) is recommended for determining the level of ventilatory support and bilevel PAP required for patients with chronic alveolar hypoventilation syndromes.

Cerebral air embolism complicating bilevel positive airway pressure therapy [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1998 A 13 yr old male with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who received bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation via a face mask for post-transplant pneumonitis developed subcutaneous emphysema, radiographic evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema, pneumomediastinum and 6 h later, right hemiparesis and focal livedo reticularis.
