Predicting nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1994We recently proposed an equation predicting the optimal level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) that abolishes sleep apnea from three simple and easily available parameters: body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and apnea/hypopnea index (AHI).

Ventilatory effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure
European Respiratory Journal, 1990Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) improved arterial oxygenation in patients with sleep apnoea as well as those with acute pulmonary processes such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Despite an expanding pool of clinical information, little if any attempt seems to have been made to see whether nCPAP alters ventilatory patterns.

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Nonapneic Snoring?
Chest, 1995The feasibility of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for heavy snoring associated with daytime sleepiness was studied in 118 consecutive patients with an apnea hypopnea index below 5. Fifty-nine of them reported daytime sleepiness in a questionnaire and were offered treatment with nasal CPAP. Whereas 48 patients refused it, the remaining

Postextubation Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1982Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (N-CPAP), applied immediately after extubation, was prospectively evaluated in 18 neonates recovering from respiratory distress syndrome. Patients were randomly assigned to N-CPAP (group 1, N=9) or a control group given oxygen by hood (group 2, N=9).

Neonatal nasal deformities secondary to nasal continuous positive airway pressure
The Laryngoscope, 1994AbstractNasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is being used more frequently in neonatal intensive care units to avoid endotracheal intubation and its attendant complications. Nasal deformities secondary to the naresâoccluding prongs employed to deliver the CPAP in former preterm infants have been recognized, and prevention and surgical ...

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1993Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients. The primary objectives of our investigation were to determine if CPAP could reduce reflux in non-OSAS patients and, if so, by what mechanism.

NASAL CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE IN PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINH PNEUMONIA
The Lancet, 198810 cm H2O of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was applied in nine subjects with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, all of whom had presented with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and hypoxaemia. The procedure was tolerated well by eight patients and none of the nine had complications. 20 minutes of

Facial deformations during nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy
Journal of Biomechanics, 2016Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), characterised by repeated collapse of the pharyngeal airway during sleep, causes cessation of breathing followed by arousal, restoring normality. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive, effective treatment for OSA where positive pressure is applied to the airway through a mask, maintaining patency ...

Columellar Reconstruction following Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Injury
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2018Summary: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure is used increasingly to treat pulmonary immaturity in premature neonates. Nasal injury is common with nasal continuous positive airway pressure use, with full-thickness tissue loss at the columella among the most devastating complications.

Continuous positive airway pressure by nasal prongs in bronchiolitis
Pediatric Pulmonology, 1993AbstractTen infants with evidence of impending respiratory failure from severe bronchiolitis were successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) with double nasal prongs. Their mean (SD) age was 6.7 (3.8) months and mean (SD) body weight was 7.1 (2.1) kg.
