Bilevel Nasal Positive Airway Pressure and Ballooning of the Stomach
Chest, 2001We describe a case of severe gastric insufflation in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis who was receiving bilevel nasal positive airway pressure (BNPAP) ventilation (BiPAP; Respironics; Murrysville, PA). The injection of inspiratory flow into the esophagus, aerophagia, and air trapping below the gastroesophageal junction after a meal are ...

Nasal Bilevel vs. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2005Our aim was to compare the effects of nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (N-BiPAP) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (N-CPAP) on gas exchange in preterm babies. Twenty preterm infants (mean gestational age, 26.3 weeks; mean weight at study, 1,033 g) were evaluated. Patients received two repeated cycles of N-CPAP alternated with N-BiPAP,

Noninvasive ventilation via bilevel positive airway pressure support in pediatric practice
Critical Care Medicine, 1998To evaluate the efficacy of bilevel positive airway pressure support in critically ill children with underlying medical conditions.Prospective, clinical study.Pediatric intensive care unit (ICU).Thirty-four patients (6 mos to 20 yrs, mean 11.06 +/- 0.9 yrs) with impending respiratory failure were enrolled in the study.

Respiration, 1996
A 49-year-old woman presented with idiopathic bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. The patient benefited from bilevel intermittent positive airway pressure-type assisted ventilation with rapid, excellent and long-lasting results. This case emphasizes the need for correct diagnosis and therapeutic management, particularly with a bilevel intermittent ...

Continuous versus bilevel positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1995Recent objective studies demonstrate relatively low hours of nightly use during nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients frequently complain of dyspnea or discomfort during CPAP use, especially during expiration (against the continuous pressure), which may be a reason for the low hours of use.

Bilevel positive airway pressure in the treatment of status asthmaticus in pediatrics
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2007The aim of this study was to examine the safety, patient tolerance, and possible benefit of bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in conjunction with beta-2 agonist therapy in the treatment of pediatric patients with status asthmaticus who were refractory to conventional medical therapy.This descriptive retrospective chart review examined all ...

The Effect of Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure on Voice Quality
Journal of VoiceInflammation of the upper airways, thickening of the lateral pharyngeal walls, elongation of the soft palate and uvula, hypertrophy of the tonsils and base of the tongue can be seen in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients. Changes in these structures may affect articulation and phonation, negatively affecting the quality of the voice.

Sleep and Breathing, 2017
Although bilevel positive airway pressure (Bilevel PAP) therapy is usually used for overlap syndrome (OS), there is still a portion of OS patients in whom Bilevel PAP therapy could not simultaneously eliminate residual apnea events and hypercapnia. The current study was expected to explore whether auto-trilevel positive airway pressure (auto-trilevel ...

Randomized Trial of Bilevel versus Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Acute Pulmonary Edema
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014Studies have shown different clinical outcomes of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) from those of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).We evaluated whether bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) more rapidly improves dyspnea, ventilation, and acidemia without increasing the myocardial infarction (MI) rate compared to continuous ...
