Definition: Continuous positive airway pressure, commonly called CPAP, is a type of respiratory support used in adult and pediatric patients. In premature babies, CPAP is delivered through a set of nasal prongs or through a small mask that fits snugly over a baby’s nose.Like nasal cannula, CPAP is used to deliver constant air pressure into a baby’s nose, which helps the air sacs in the lungs stay open and helps prevent apnea. CPAP can deliver more pressure than nasal cannula, so is often used in babies who are breathing well enough on their own that they do not need mechanical ventilation, but who need more support than the cannula offers. CPAP can also be used to deliver higher concentrations of oxygen to premature babies who have trouble maintaining good oxygen levels in their blood
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the use of continuous positive pressure to maintain a continuous level of positive airway pressure. It is functionally similar to PEEP, except that PEEP is an applied pressure against exhalation and CPAP is a pressure applied by a constant flow. The ventilator does not cycle during CPAP, no additional pressure above the level of CPAP is provided, and patients must initiate all of their breaths. Nasal CPAP is frequently used in neonates though its use is controversial. Studies have shown nasal CPAP to reduce ventilator time but an increased occurrence ofpneumothorax was also prevalent.
As a treatment or therapy, CPAP uses mild air pressure to keep an airway open. CPAP typically is used for people who have breathing problems, such as sleep apnea.
CPAP also may be used to treat preterm infants whose lungs have not yet fully developed. For example, physicians may use CPAP to treat infants who have respiratory distress syndrome orbronchopulmonary dysplasia. In some preterm infants whose lungs haven't fully developed, CPAP improves survival and decreases the need for steroid treatment for their lungs.
CPAP at home utilizes machines specifically designed to deliver a constant flow or pressure. Some CPAP machines have other features as well, such as heated humidifiers. CPAP is the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, in which the mild pressure from CPAP prevents the airway from collapsing or becoming blocked.
Perlong CPAP Machine
Usage:
CPAP system is used for newborn baby with stronger spontaneous breath and slightly respiratory failure ,and applies to pediatric clinics for NCPAP oxygen uptake.
Features:
1.CPAP ventilation mode keeps children spontaneous breath and reduces children breathing work, continues to provide CPAP mode of constant flow and limited pressure for newborn baby;
2.Delivery air/O2 mixture with properly adjusted O2 concentration and continuous positive pressure to premature baby, newborn baby and child, which will highly improve the safety and efficacy of oxygen therapy;
3.Equipped with built-in oxygen/air blender, ensuring O2 concentration adjustment to be stable ;
4.High quality oxygen sensor can monitor real-time O2 concentration , alarm over limitation, ensure safety ofbreathing O2;
5.Reliable CPAP control valve and advanced pressure monitoring system improve CPAP adjustment precision.
