Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation versus Bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation in patients with blunt chest trauma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
Introduction: The use of positive pressure ventilation has decreased the overall morbidity and mortality associated with blunt chest trauma, but invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is associated with many complications.

Lung Ultrasonography Score to Evaluate Oxygenation and Surfactant Need in Neonates Treated With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.

JAMA pediatrics, 2015
IMPORTANCE Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is a bedside technique useful to diagnose neonatal respiratory problems, but, to our knowledge, no data are available about its use for monitoring lung function or eventually guiding surfactant therapy.

Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for preterm neonates after extubation.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
BACKGROUND Previous randomised trials and meta-analyses have shown that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a useful method for providing respiratory support after extubation.

Early nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for preterm infants.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
BACKGROUND Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a strategy for maintaining positive airway pressure throughout the respiratory cycle through the application of bias flow of respiratory gas to an apparatus attached to the nose.

Nasal CPAP in the delivery room for newborns with extremely low birth weight in a hospital in a developing country

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013
The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of the use of continuous positive airway pressure installed prophylactically in the delivery room (DR-CPAP), for infants with a birth weight between 500 and 1000 g in settings with limited ...
