What is BiPAP / CPAP therapy?
CPAP
Abbreviation (CPAP) is the acronym for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. Patients used CPAP for sleep apnea, upper airway obstruction treated.
A simple CPAP ventilator breath of patients with sleep apnea, while they are asleep in their home, according to a polysomnography study in a sleep center.
If a patient is sleeping, their upper airway becomes blocked by the nasal cavity, palate tissueor the base of the tongue (hypopharynx). But in some cases may be from all steps of the upper airways.
CPAP prevents disorders of the upper respiratory taken by pressing a steady flow of air through a mask during sleep, effectively forcing the airway to remain open so that a patient can breathe, and reduce apnea.
There are many types of these types of machines on the market, which all have essentially the same. Normally a smallcompact device that hooks the tubes that carry air when the patient is at rest. Some models are equipped with heated humidifiers and C-Flex settings makes it easier to breathe.
There are also different types of face masks can be worn with machines continuous positive airway pressure. Straps to go around the head and drag to keep the mask in position to prevent leakage.
Complications of CPAP
Some patients are able to with a mask all night, seriously reducing the benefits of this treatment modality.
Some patients who want to get a good night's sleep without a mask that allows them to select the operation.
Patients who suffer from vertigo for the use of treatment with CPAP, chest congestion, the risk of developing sleep apnea or complex (CSA), dry nose, sneezing, runny nose, nosebleeds, and in extreme cases, the 'infection of the lining of the brain.
Working closely with the doctor and> He'll sleep therapist, you can determine the correct settings leg for you.
BiPAP therapy
Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure, which corresponds to the CPAP, but with the BiPAP therapy, there are two different settings of pressure for the patient.
Patients in whom BiPAP therapy treatment were found to have respiratory problems to sleep apnea.
Of continuous positive airway pressure, or (CPAP) is a machine of constant returnsconstant flow of airway pressure during inhilation and runoff.
BiPAP therapy for the treatment of more than just sleep apnea. The BIPAP is able to recognize the pressure that a patient needs and deliver the right amount of air pressure on inhalation and exhalation.
Dual BiPAP machine settings that allows patients to have more air, and lungs without the normal muscular work required to do so.
Bilevel Positive AirwayPressure therapy is very useful for people suffering from heart failure and various forms of lung disease, mainly in patients who have more than normal carbon dioxide.
BiPAP therapy is also in the treatment of central sleep apnea, a sleep disorder due to defects in the brain, characterized the chest muscles to breathe in the signal.
New machines are now on the market BiPAP, Bi-flex smooth a very useful feature that provides pressure limiting for the transitionbetween the end of the beginning of the IPAP and ePaper.
Complications associated with therapy with BiPAP
Complications related to the use of mask bilevel positive airway pressure, a few symptoms, some patients develop sores and numbness in the area of the mask.
Once again, the documented cases of patients with bloating from swallowing air and were
As always, you should consult your doctor to determine the nature ofPAP treatment that is right for you.
