lets talk about the types of mechanical ventilators, but before that *it doesnt matter who we are...you should have respected my authoriteaaah* 😁 ❤️CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure.  CPAP delivers a single continuous stream of pressurized air to help keep your upper airway from collapsing while you sleep. ❤️Automatic positive airway pressure (APAP), These machines are built to fluctuate within this range of pressures automatically when it delivers air. It depends on algorithms inside the machine which sense subtle breathing changes that take place throughout the night. ❤️BiPAP stands for bilevel positive airway pressure. BPAP is set up to provide dual pressures: one for inhalation (IPAP) and another (lower) pressure for exhalation (EPAP). This therapy can also be set to match a person's breaths-per-minute rate or to sense a significant shift in their breathing and compensate for it by adjusting pressures so the person can maintain a steady pattern. @medicalcortex #medstudent #nurse #doctor #coffee #coffeelover #coffeetime #coffe #cafe #premed #f4f #l4l #usmle #emergency #strangerthings #emergencyroom #meme #nightshift #surgery #surgeon #coffe #medicine #saturday #morning #pediatrics #baby #pun #punny #funny #meme
