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 ...

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 (

Optimal positive airway pressure requirement and polysomnography indices of obstructive sleep apnea severity in the Saudi population

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2023
CONTEXT: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the first-line therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Overnight PAP titration for determining optimal PAP requirements is expensive and often inconvenient.

How to choose between high-flow nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure, and bilevel positive airway pressure in children with acute respiratory illness

Journal of Pediatric Critical Care, 2023
In pediatric patients with acute respiratory illnesses, the widespread availability of heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) devices, ease of use, and increased compliance have increased their use in conditions such as pneumonia, acute ...

Clinical Feasibility of an Auto-Adjusting Bi-Level PAP Device for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Türk Uyku Tıbbı Dergisi, 2014
Introduction: Bi-Level positive airway pressure (BPAP) is an effective alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who could not tolerate CPAP.

Supraventricular Tachycardia Induced by Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Northwestern Medical Journal, 2021
The use of noninvasive ventilation in the treatment of respiratory failure has increased in recent years. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure, a noninvasive method of ventilation, is thought to decrease the incidence of arrhythmias, but this case ...
