Continuous positive airway pressure: A breathing system to minimize respiratory work

During continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) the work of breathing is least when there is no change of airway pressure measured at the mouth (ΔPaw) during respiration. In this study we consider the physical properties of CPAP circuits which determine the magnitude of ΔPaw, and apply this inform...
