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.

Studying That Suits You

Description

Learn about the bCPAP system, a life-saving intervention for neonates. Understand how it delivers ambient or blended gas and generates pressure. Test your knowledge on the CPAP system and its application in neonatal care.
