Predictors of continuous positive airway pressure adherence [PDF]
F1000 Medicine Reports, 2010 Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the leading treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a prevalent disorder of breathing in sleep strongly associated with obesity. OSA has serious adverse health, social and community effects arising from disturbed breathing, loud snoring, poor quality sleep and cardiovascular sequelae.

Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: A Randomized Trial [PDF]
Pediatrics, 2016 BACKGROUND: There is currently no clear evidence that nasal-biphasic positive airway pressure (n-BiPAP) confers any advantage over nasal-continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP). Our hypothesis was that preterm infants born before 30 weeks' gestation and <2 weeks old when extubated onto n-BiPAP will have ...

Walking with continuous positive airway pressure: Fig. 1— [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2006 A ventilator-dependent child had been in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) ever since birth. As a result, she had fallen behind considerably in her development.After 18 months, continuous positive airway pressure was successfully administeredviaa tracheostomy tube with a novel lightweight device. This enabled her to walk in the PICU.

Continuous positive airway pressure in bronchiolitis. [PDF]
BMJ, 1981 Over five years 23 infants with evidence of respiratory insufficiency due to bronchiolitis were managed with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This was applied through either a short nasal cannula (14 patients) or an endotracheal tube (nine patients).

Control system for continuous positive airway pressure [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Biomédica, 2014 INTRODUCTION: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a mode of non-invasive mechanical ventilation commonly used in neonatology. The incorporation of new therapeutic and technological advances may impact the survival of very low birth weight preterm infants.
