- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP): CPAP is a fixed positive pressure throughout the respiratory cycle. CPAP appears to be more effective in reducing the need for tracheal intubation and possibly mortality in patients presenting with with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPE). Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP): 1  BiPAP is when the ventilator delivers different levels of pressure during inspiration (IPAP) and expiration (EPAP). 2  BiPAP ventilation appears to be more effective in reducing mortality and the need for tracheal intubation in patients with an acute decompensation of COPD.

- We hypothesize that one type of breathing support: pressure support ventilation would be more comfortable for patients as it more closely matches a patient's own respiratory pattern and and so leads to improved adherence and consequent improvement in quality of life.

- The term noninvasive positive pressure ventilation refers not only to the mode, but to the fact that instead of using the traditional negative pressure (e.g., with an iron lung) now we use positive pressure to achieve ventilation.

- Abstract. 1  Delivery of sedation in anticipation of weaning of adult patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation is an arena of critical care medicine where opinion-based practice is currently hard to avoid because robust evidence is lacking. We offer some views on this subject, hoping to stimulate debate among colleagues.

Understanding and coding for critical care services Typically, only critical care patients are in the ICU. However, when a patient is in the ICU as a ‘boarder,’ due to a lack of available space in the facility, and this patient does not have a critical diagnosis or critical symptoms, then coders should report other appropriate evaluation and management (E/M) codes.

- Getting insurance coverage for an expensive vent to be used for BiPAP is likely to be difficult however. BiPAP is not generally considered Life Support Equipment.. A ventilator can be set to completely take over breathing, BiPAP can only assist the breathing. A ventilator is generally set to deliver air according to volume. It pumps air in until a certain volume has been reached, then releases it.

- Introduction In patients assisted by mechanical ventilation, the Work Of Breathing (WOB) is shared between the patient and the ventilator. During weaning from mechanical ventilation, the WOB performed by the patient must be adequate and efficient to sustain spontaneous ventilation after extubation. The monitoring of WOB during weaning might allow a better management of the weaning process.
