Nasal continuous positive airway pressure

 Continuous positive airway pressure is also known as CPAP. CPAP system is available in both inspiratory and expiratory phase to maintain a predetermined pressure, but do not actively engage in positive pressure ventilator ventilation and spontaneous breathing by the patient to inhale ventilator provides wet, and with a certain oxygen concentration of the gas. For sober cooperation, no carbon dioxide retention, normal airway defense mechanisms.

(A) nasal mask CPAP for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, safer easily tolerated.

(Two) Masks CPAP wake collaborators, such as no nausea, vomiting can be used, but in some cases difficult to tolerate.

(Three) the nasal CPAP nasal cannula catheter nasopharynx, CPAP is 0.981 ~ 1.96kPa (10 ~ 20cmH2O). Pay attention to the choice of appropriate nasal cannula.

(Four) intubated patients using CPAP machine  tolerance required intubation.
