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 ...

Microbiome and Mycobiome Analyses of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Devices [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental OtorhinolaryngologyObjectives. Microorganisms are likely present in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices in daily use. Given the potential risk of infection among CPAP users, we aimed to compare the microbiomes of CPAP devices with those of nasal mucosa ...

Efficacy of auto-PAP titration in obstructive sleep apnea: Single-center experience
Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2020 Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-associated breathing disorder, which left untreated can cause severe morbidities or even mortality. The recommended treatment strategy for moderate-to-severe OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (

Continuous positive airway pressure in COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe respiratory failure
European Respiratory Journal, 2020 Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are recommended for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) due to cardiogenic pulmonary oedema but no recommendation has been made for viral pandemics, because of the lack ...
