Controlled trial of continuous positive airway pressure given by face mask for hyaline membrane disease.
A controlled trial of elective intervention with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was performed on 24 infants with hyaline membrane disease whose arterial oxygen tension (Pao2) fell below 8kPa (60 mmHg) while they were breathing a fractional inspired oxygen concentration (F1O2) greater than 0.60. A face mask was used to apply the CPAP. The progress of the 12 infants who were treated o...
متن کاملTreatment of severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema with continuous positive airway pressure delivered by face mask.
BACKGROUND Severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a frequent cause of respiratory failure, and many patients with this condition require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. We investigated whether continuous positive airway pressure delivered by means of a face mask had physiologic benefit and would reduce the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. METHODS We randomly ...
متن کاملAerosol kinetics and bronchodilator efficacy during continuous positive airway pressure delivered by face mask.
BACKGROUND Rates of fresh gas flow (FGF) commonly used when continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered by face mask theoretically reduce the delivery and availability of therapeutic aerosols. As it may be hazardous for patients with acute respiratory failure to interrupt mask CPAP, the effects of CPAP on aerosol kinetics and bronchodilator efficacy were investigated. METHOD The e...
متن کاملRandomized, prospective trial of oxygen, continuous positive airway pressure, and bilevel positive airway pressure by face mask in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of oxygen, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and bilevel positive airway pressure (bilevel-PAP) on the rate of endotracheal intubation in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. DESIGN Randomized, controlled trial. SETTING Tertiary hospital emergency room. PATIENTS We randomly assigned 80 patients with severe cardiogenic acute pulmonary ...
متن کاملHeated humidification or face mask to prevent upper airway dryness during continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the way in which nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy influences the relative humidity (rH) of inspired air; and (2) to assess the impact on rH of the addition of an integrated heated humidifier or a full face mask to the CPAP circuitry. DESIGN The studies were performed in 25 patients with obstructive slee...
