2. Positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

   The pressure required by most patients with sleep apnea ranges between 6 and 14 cm H 2 O. A typical CPAP machine can deliver pressures between 4 and 20 cm H 2 O. More specialised units can deliver pressures up to 25 or 30 cm H 2 O. CPAP treatment can be highly effective in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

3. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

   BPAP can be described as a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure system with a time-cycle change of the applied CPAP level. [11] CPAP/APAP, BPAP, and other non-invasive ventilation modes have been shown to be effective management tools for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory failure, sleep apnea, etc. [12]

4. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   CPAP is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, in which the mild pressure from the CPAP prevents the airway from collapsing or becoming blocked. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] CPAP has been shown to be 100% effective at eliminating obstructive sleep apneas in the majority of people who use the therapy according to the ...

   Both can mean obstructive sleep apnea. With obstructive sleep apnea, the mouth and throat relax when a person is unconscious, sometimes blocking or narrowing the airway. That interrupts breathing ...

6. Upper airway resistance syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Airway_Resistance...

   [18] [19] Positive airway pressure therapy is similar to that in obstructive sleep apnea and works by stenting the airway open with pressure, thus reducing the airway resistance. Use of a CPAP can help ease the symptoms of UARS. Therapeutic trials have shown that using a CPAP with pressure between four and eight centimeters of water can help to ...

7. Non-invasive ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_ventilation

   Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet.Air, usually with added oxygen, is given through the mask under positive pressure; generally the amount of pressure is alternated depending on whether someone is breathing in or out.
