Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and High-Flow Nasal Cannula Today
Clinics in Perinatology, 2021This study reviews the mechanisms of action and physiologic effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome, discusses the main characteristics of available devices and patients' interfaces, reports on risk of failure and possible adverse effects, and ...

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Advances in Neonatal Care, 2013The purpose of this multisite study was to describe suctioning techniques of registered nurses (RNs) and respiratory therapists (RTs) caring for neonates requiring nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The care practices investigated included suctioning frequency, assessment parameters, and techniques used to suction.A convenience sample of

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure for neonatal back transfer
Acta Paediatrica, 2006AbstractWe report the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) for neonatal back transfer of 51 babies. nCPAP may be used to provide safe respiratory support during back transportation of infants. Babies transferred on nCPAP were significantly smaller and of younger postmenstrual age than historical comparators who had to wait for ...

Mouth leak with nasal continuous positive airway pressure increases nasal airway resistance.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1996Nasal congestion, dry nose and throat, and sore throat affect approximately 40% of patients using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The mechanisms causing nasal symptoms are unclear, but mouth leaks causing high unidirectional nasal airflow may be important. We conducted a study to investigate the effects of mouth leak and the influence

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Treatment
2011Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the treatment of choice for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The mechanism by which CPAP maintains the patency of the upper airway in patients with OSA is by acting as a pneumatic splint. The authors of the paper introducing CPAP as a treatment modality for OSA suggested this mechanism in ...

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: Further Details
Pediatrics, 1974The recent description by Dr. Kattwinkel et al. of the use of CPAP by the nasal route is quite interesting and encouraging with regard to the delivery of CPAP without intubation. Though the data look quite good, there is no mention of either the starting pressures used or the mean pressure required in the 22 cases reported.

The effect of nasal surgery on nasal continuous positive airway pressure compliance
The Laryngoscope, 2013Objectives/Hypothesis Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for sleep apnea; however, compliance rates are historically poor. Among the most commonly cited reasons for nonadherence is nasal obstruction.

Nasal Colonization among Premature Infants Treated with Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
American Journal of Perinatology, 2010We examined the relationship between the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and nasal colonization among low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. We prospectively cultured the nares of LBW infants on admission and weekly until hospital discharge. The modality of respiratory support during each culture was recorded.

Nasal trauma due to continuous positive airway pressure in neonates
Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2010Objective To evaluate the incidence and severity of nasal trauma secondary to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in neonates. Design Prospective observational study. Setting

Nasal Bilevel vs. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2005Our aim was to compare the effects of nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (N-BiPAP) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (N-CPAP) on gas exchange in preterm babies. Twenty preterm infants (mean gestational age, 26.3 weeks; mean weight at study, 1,033 g) were evaluated. Patients received two repeated cycles of N-CPAP alternated with N-BiPAP,
