Nocturnal Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation with Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) in Respiratory Failure

Nocturnal Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation with Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) in Respiratory Failure

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation through a nasal mask in the treatment of eight patients with hypoventilatory respiratory failure and nocturnal CO2 retention. Nocturnal CO2 retention was significantly reduced in all patient...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation through a nasal mask in the treatment of eight patients with hypoventilatory respiratory failure and nocturnal CO2 retention. Nocturnal CO2 retention was significantly reduced in all patients with the application of BiPAP during sleep (p
