Patients presenting with acute CPE often will do well starting CPAP near 10 and adjusting based on comfort, pulse oximetry, and vitals. Elevation of the head of the bed to > 30 degrees is recommended when possible. [ahcmedia.com]
While parts of the facility are not required to be in the same location, the parts of the facility should be unified and presented to the public under a singular identity. return to home page [medicalboard.iowa.gov]
A pulse may be present initially, but be prepared to begin chest compressions should the patient deteriorate into cardiac arrest. Open the patient’s airway and provide positive pressure ventilation with a bag-mask. [acls.com]

This can increase the work of breathing for fragile COPD patients or weak critically ill patients. Most ICU patients tolerate pressures of 5 to 8 cm H 2 O. [acphospitalist.org]
INDICATIONS SUPPORTED BY WEAK OR NO EVIDENCE Although NPPV and CPAP have been used in a number of settings, insufficient literature exists to support or refute its use in several clinical scenarios. [ahcmedia.com]
Medical conditions treatable with CPAP or NIV support include but are not limited to: Altered control of breathing (eg: Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome) Neuromuscular weakness (eg: DMD, SMA,) Upper spinal cord injury (partial) Upper airway [rch.org.au]
In some cases, high, moderate, or low ratings will be impossible or imprudent to make, for example, when no evidence is available or when evidence on the outcome is too weak, sparse, or inconsistent to permit any conclusion to be drawn. [effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov]
- Collapse
With obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, physical blockages or obstructions in the airway occur during sleep, usually because the back of the tongue collapses against the soft palate and the soft palate collapses against the back of the throat. [sleepapnea.org]
This results in air sacks not being filled with air, and thus they collapse. This is called atelectasis. [hardluckasthma.blogspot.com]

COPD, which is most frequently associated with a history of smoking, may be asymptomatic in its early stages. Once symptoms become apparent, they frequently include chronic cough and dyspnea. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. [cms.gov]

However carers should be mindful of the increased risk of abdominal distension and need for increased venting/aspiration of nasogastric (NGT) or other gastrostomy tubes. [rch.org.au]

- Hypotension
However, avoid PEEP in hypotensive patients. If ventilation or oxygenation is still not adequate, prepare for other airway maneuvers such as a supraglottic airway or endotracheal intubation. [msdmanuals.com]
Exclusion criteria were respiratory arrest; hypotension; arrhythmias; upper airway obstruction or facial trauma; or inability to clear secretions, cooperate, or wear a mask. Follow-up was complete. [acpjc.acponline.org]
However, it should be avoided in patients with severe hypotension or life-threatening arrhythmia, and in those who require an endotracheal tube to protect the airways (coma, impaired swallowing, etc; Table 1 ). [ccforum.biomedcentral.com]

- Confusion
Some patients may also become confused or excessively sleepy due to hypoxia or increased carbon dioxide levels. In most cases, if signs of respiratory failure are identified early, treatment can be implemented to prevent complete respiratory arrest. [acls.com]

CPAP can be delivered both during invasive respiratory treatment, by means of an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy, and during non-invasive respiratory treatment. [link.springer.com]

Prevention
There was no evidence that IS is effective in the prevention of pulmonary complications. [aetna.com]
Preventing apneas and hypopneas prevents the sleep fragmentation, so treatment reduces the daytime sleepiness. The precise cause of obstruction is usually difficult to find, and many people have obstructions in more than one place. [sleepapnea.org]
In this setting, NPPV was ineffective at preventing reintubation and had no survival benefit. [the-hospitalist.org]
An inflatable balloon attached to the tube at the tracheal end prevents air from escaping through the upper airways and out of the body. [healthcommunities.com]
Soon such treatments were believed to be useful to prevent and treat postoperative atelectasis and pneumonia. [hardluckasthma.blogspot.com]
