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 ...

Continuous positive airway pressure.

Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2019
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy provides a pneumatic splinting of the upper airways in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In spite of several CPAP therapy benefits, adherence remains a major problem than physician should monitor carrefully verify. Common interface-related side effects may contribute to therapy failure.
