Clinical outcomes of bubble continuous positive airway pressure compared to indigenous continuous positive airway pressure in preterm neonates with respiratory distress

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Respiratory distress is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially in preterm infants. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a widely used non-invasive respiratory support.

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.

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.

Effect of Sleep Apnea and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Cardiac Structure and Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Sleep apnea (SA) is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine the effect of SA on cardiac structure in patients with AF, whether therapy for SA was associated with beneficial cardiac structural ...

Pneumatocele triggered by continuous positive airway pressure after lung resection

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020
A pneumatocele is a cystic change of the lung that is caused by a check valve in the bronchiole due to infection, trauma and positive-pressure ventilation. We herein report a case of pneumatocele triggered by using of continuous positive airway pressure (

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.
