Introduction:

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) are both types of non-invasive positive airway pressure (NIPAP) therapies used to treat sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions. The main difference lies in the pressure they deliver: CPAP provides a constant pressure throughout the breathing cycle, while BiPAP uses two different pressure levels, one for inhalation (iPAP) and one for exhalation (ePAP)

Importance in Air Ambulance:

These are used for patients with conditions like COPD or sleep apnea who need airway support but not full ventilation.

Technical Details:
Compact and FAA-approved units with real-time pressure adjustment, humidification, and battery backup.

Patient Benefit:
Improves oxygenation, reduces fatigue, and allows safer transfer with less invasive support.
