   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 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

   The titrated pressure is the pressure of air at which most (if not all) apneas and hypopneas have been prevented, and it is usually measured in centimetres of water (cm H 2 O). 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.

4. Airway pressure release ventilation - Wikipedia

   A pressure-time graphic. Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a pressure control mode of mechanical ventilation that utilizes an inverse ratio ventilation strategy. APRV is an applied continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) that at a set timed interval releases the applied pressure. Depending on the ventilator manufacturer, it may ...

5. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

   Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive positive pressure mode of respiratory support. CPAP is a continuous pressure applied to keep the alveoli open and not fully deflate. This mechanism for maintaining inflated alveoli helps increase partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, an appropriate increase in CPAP increases ...
