Studies have shown nasal CPAP reduces ventilator time but an increased occurrence of pneumothorax was also prevalent.
•
The ventilator does not cycle during CPAP, no additional pressure above the level of CPAP is provided, and patients must initiate all of their breaths.
Continuous positive airway pressure, a particular type of ventilation (breathing) therapy
Interventions and tests that the MET call may include: Oxygen (via a mask), Blood glucose levels, CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure), X-ray, ECG, Vital signs, documentation and Spirometry.
Common to those who take certain sleeping aids, it is also often seen in the first few nights after patients with sleep apnea are placed on CPAP.
