Our 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...
BACKGROUND: Although continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), there is a portion of patients in which CPAP is not usable. Bilevel treatment serves as an alternative for these patients. For uncomplicated OSAS, auto...

Bilevel (BLPV) versus continuous (CPAP) nasal positive airway pressure in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients with previous poor compliance to CPAPMuir, J FVerin, EPortier, FBenichou, PLofaso, FMartin, FVenet, AMallart Voisin, A...
Background: Whether bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is advantageous compared with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPO) remains uncertain. The aim of the meta-analysis was to assess potential beneficial and adverse effects of CPAP compared ...
It remains unclear whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel ventilatory support (BVS) should be used as initial management. The aim of this study was to determine if one form of positive pressure is superior to the other in improving daytime respiratory failure. METHODS: A ...

Factors Associated With CPAP/Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Compliance in Patients With OSAUltrasound imaging of the abdomen can be a valuable tool in the bedside assessment of the critically ill patient. A systematic and reproducible approach to critical care ultrasound assessment of the abdomen is...
