What is BiPAP?
The BiPAP is a device used to provide non-invasive pressure support and CPAP via mask, usually nasal. BiPAP stands for Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure. The BiPAP aids oxygenation and ventilation in cases of sleep apnea or ventilatory muscle fatigue. It has also been applied to prevent the more invasive procedures of intubation or tracheostomy.
