Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Worsens Central Apneas During Sleep

Chest, 2005
While most patients with sleep-disordered breathing are treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BLPAP) is often used. Having observed that BLPAP therapy increased central apneas in some of our patients undergoing sleep studies, we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of BLPAP.Retrospective ...

Bilevel positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2014
For most patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective therapy. However, for a subset of individuals, CPAP is either not effective or is poorly tolerated. Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) is potentially capable of treating OSA at a lower mean pressure than CPAP and can help ...

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in infants with upper airway obstruction: comparison of continuous and bilevel positive pressure

Intensive Care Medicine, 2005
This study evaluated the efficacy of noninvasive continuous positive pressure (CPAP) ventilation in infants with severe upper airway obstruction and compared CPAP to bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) ventilation.Prospective, randomized, controlled study in the pulmonary pediatric department of a university hospital.Ten infants (median age 9.5 ...

Bilevel positive airway pressure for neonates – a short report

Acta Paediatrica, 2021
Invasive mechanical ventilation in the neonatal setting can be life-saving, but may lead to chronic respiratory morbidity. As a consequence, there has been a focus on using non-invasive ventilation techniques (NIV). One NIV mode is bilevel continuous positive airway pressure (BiPAP), during which two alternating levels of pressure are delivered: a ...

Bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation: factors influencing carbon dioxide rebreathing

Intensive Care Medicine, 2010
Use of bilevel positive airway pressure (BLPAP) ventilators for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an established treatment for both acute and chronic ventilatory failure. Although BLPAP ventilator circuits are simpler than those of conventional ventilators, one drawback to their use is that they allow variable amounts of rebreathing to occur. The aim of
