CPAP = noninvasive PS

BL-PAP = noninvasive PC (presure ventilation)

INDICATION - intact resp drive with more readily reversible etiology

Possible uses:

1) *COPD

2) OSA

3) Pulm edema

4) PNA

5) Status asthmaticus

6) CHF exacb

BL-PAP SETTINGS

Initial: IPAP = 8, EPAP = 3 (3-5L/min flow; 100% FiO2)

Titrate: increase IPAP @ 2cmH2O increments to comfort

-nl pt --> increase EPAP in sync @ 2cmH2O incremnts

-hypercapnic --> increase EPAP in sync @ 1:2.5 ratio
