English term or phrase: bilevel positive airway pressure
Definition from Harvard Health Publishing:
A machine that helps people get more air into their lungs when sleeping by increasing the pressure or force of air when breathing in; often used to treat sleep apnea.

Example sentence(s):
  • Recently, volume-targeted bilevel positive airway pressure (VT-BPAP) has been developed in which the IPAP-EPAP difference is automatically adjusted to deliver a target tidal volume ScienceDirect
  • We speculated that bilevel positive airway pressure - spontaneous (BPAP-S), by producing relative hyperventilation, may more readily produce CompSAS activity than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). PubMed
  • Recent studies have demonstrated that short-term administration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in normal subjects causes significant alterations in R-Ri variability. However, we have not encountered any studies on the effects of bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation (Bilevel), which produces biphasic respiratory cycles (inspiratory and expiratory pressures), nor on the possibility of different pressure levels differentially affecting hemodynamic responses and thus cardiac autonomic control.

pressió en les vies respiratòries amb dos nivells de pressió


Definition from Revista de pediatria:
l BIPAP(Bilevel intermittent positive airway pressure)2és unsuport ventilatori ciclat per pressió que s’administraamb un ventilador especialment dissenyat per a VNI.La característica d’aquesta modalitat és que s’admi-nistren de manera sincronitzada amb la respiraciódel pacient dos nivells de pressió (inspiratori - IPAP,espiratori - EPAP) que permeten aconseguir unamillora quantitativa del volum corrent generat encada inspiració i de la capacitat residual funciona

Example sentence(s):
  • Altres tipus de ventilació mecànica contínua invasiva són: assistència respiratòria endotraqueal BIPAP aplicada mitjançant tub endotraqueal o traqueostomia - Fitxa versió en català ICD9th Revision
