    Study Notes

    bCPAP Effects on Mean Airway Pressure

    • bCPAP increases mean airway pressures.

    bCPAP Effects on Lung Inhomogeneity

    • bCPAP decreases lung inhomogeneity, promoting more uniform ventilation.

    bCPAP Effects on Neutrophil Migration and Hydrogen Peroxide Production

    • bCPAP reduces neutrophil migration and hydrogen peroxide production in preterm lambs, potentially mitigating inflammation.

    bCPAP Effects on Total Lung Capacity

    • bCPAP increases total lung capacity in animal studies.

    bCPAP Effects on Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

    • Early initiation of bCPAP lowers the incidence of BPD in very low birth weight infants.

    bCPAP Complications

    • Excessive CPAP can lead to pneumothorax, a potentially serious condition.

    Preventing Nasal Injury from Nasal Prongs

    • Rotation of nasal prongs every 24 hours helps prevent nasal injury.

    Contraindications for bCPAP

    • Choanal atresia, a congenital condition where the back of the nasal passages are blocked, is a contraindication for bCPAP.

    Consequences of Nasal Obstruction

    • Nasal obstruction during NCPAP can result in ineffective ventilation.

    Gastric Distension Complications

    • Gastric distension during CPAP can lead to vomiting and aspiration, which can be life-threatening.
