Slide 2: 

Presentation Structure Goal of CPAP in the field CPAP and its physiological effects CPAP delivery systems Medical applications of CPAP When not to use CPAP

Slide 3: 

History of CPAP 1912 - Maintenance of lung expansion during thoracic surgery (S. Brunnel) 1937 - High altitude flying to prevent hypoxemia. (Barach et al) 1967 - CPPB + IPPV to treat ARDS (Ashbaugh et al) 1971 - Term CPAP introduced, used to treat HMD in neonates 1972 - CPAP used to treat ARF (Civetta et al) 1973 - CPAP used to treat COPD (Barach et al) 1981 - Downs generator (Fried et al) 1982 - Modern definition of CPAP (Kielty et al)

Slide 4: 

CPAP and Partial Pressure ‘The pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of its constituents. This allows oxygen into the blood during inspiration and Carbon Dioxide out during expiration. Example : Air at sea level has a pressure of 760mm Hg. Air is 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. ? partial pressure of oxygen is 760 X 21% = 159mm Hg

Slide 5: 

CPAP alters the pressure gradient! 7.5cm H20 CPAP 1cm H2O is equal to 0.735mm Hg. 7.5cm H2O CPAP increases the partial pressure of the alveolar air by approximately 1%. This increase in partial pressure ‘forces’ more oxygen into the blood. Even this comparatively small change is enough to make a clinical difference.

Slide 6: 

Important Aim Of CPAP Is To Increase Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) Volume of gas remaining in lungs at end-expiration CPAP distends alveoli preventing collapse on expiration Greater surface area improves gas exchange

Slide 7: 

Physiological Effects Of CPAP Increases PSO2 Increases FRC Reduces work of breathing

Slide 8: 

Goal of CPAP To have an effective way to treat CHF/COPD Medications are continued throughout patient care

Slide 9: 

CPAP And Pulmonary Edema Severe pulmonary edema is a frequent cause of respiratory failure CPAP increases functional residual capacity CPAP increases transpulmonary pressure CPAP improves lung compliance CPAP improves arterial blood oxygenation CPAP redistributes extravascular lung water

Slide 11: 

So why does oxygen pass into the blood? Pressure Gradient Deoxygenated blood has a lower partial pressure of oxygen than alveolar Air so oxygen transfers from the air into the blood.

Slide 13: 

CPAP And Acute Respiratory Failure CPAP overcomes inspiratory work imposed by auto-peep CPAP prevents airway collapse during exhalation CPAP improves arterial blood gas values CPAP may avoid intubation and mechanical ventilation

Slide 14: 

Common Complications With CPAP Pressure sores Gastric distension Pulmonary barotrauma Reduced cardiac output Hypoventilation Fluid retention

Slide 15: 

Disposable CPAP Device Fixed flow rate, which is dependent of the interchangeable valve Interchangeable valves range from 5-20 cm and flow generator

Treatment Areas : 

Treatment Areas In the treatment of dyspnea, in patients with Congestive Heart Failure it has been proven to: Decrease hypoxia Increase intra-thoracic pressure, which can result in a reduction in left ventricular preload/afterload Marked clinical improvement Decrease patient mortality Helps patients to breath better, before they stop breathing

Trouble shooting CPAP : 

Trouble shooting CPAP Patient Anxiety Vomitus in Airway and on face Unable to tolerate due to hypoxia Unable to get a good seal on the mask..dentures Check oxygen level in tank ALWAYS WATCH THE PATIENT FOR SIGNS OF DESATURATION

Airway procedures: : 

Airway procedures: Oral pharyngeal Airway Nasal pharyngeal Airway Bag-Valve Mask with or without PEEP Valve Endo-Tracheal Intubation (Oral) King Airway Device

Slide 19:
