What is the usage of a CPAP

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) works by delivering constant positive airflow throughout inhalation and exhalation during spontaneous breathing. It keeps the upper airway from collapsing, maintains alveolar patency, increases lung reserve volume, reduces breathing effort and improves oxygenation, without actively controlling respiration.

Application Scenarios of CPAP

Sleep DepartmentObstructive sleep apnea, severe snoring, overlap syndrome, obesity hypoventilation syndrome.

Emergency & ICUAcute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, early acute respiratory failure, lung atelectasis, post-extubation respiratory support.

Neonatal PediatricsPremature infant respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal apnea, bronchiolitis and pneumonia respiratory assistance.

Perioperative PeriodPreoperative OSA risk intervention, postoperative prevention of atelectasis and hypoxemia, anesthesia extubation transition.

Chronic Disease & Home RehabilitationStable COPD, neuromuscular disease, spinal deformity respiratory insufficiency, long-term household oxygenation support.
