What are a BiPAP Machine and the way does it Work?

Bilevel positive airway pressure Machine (BiPAP) may be a small ventilator, the dimensions of a tiffin box. it's wont to provide ventilation to patients who are insufficiently breathing. it's a non-invasive technique of ventilation provided by using either a nasal mask or a mask. Breathing is accomplished normally by the movement of the diaphragm, when inhaling the diaphragm moves down, leading to a drop by pressure within the sacs of the lungs, allowing air to flow in and when exhalation the diaphragm rises increasing the pressure and pushing the air out.

The BiPAP machine cycles between two levels of continuous positive airway pressure. this suggests that the machine pumps air at two different pressures. this is often different from an endless positive airway pressure machine (CPAP) which pumps air at just one pressure. The machine works by providing air at a better pressure to facilitate inhalation and at a lower pressure to facilitate exhalation.

BiPAP Machines are wont to treat patients affected by respiratory failures in diseases like Pneumonia, Pulmonary Edema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This mode of ventilation in adults has resulted in a shorter duration of ventilation, less need for sedation, and fewer complications than intubation and positive pressure ventilation.
