By the end of this session, you should be able to:

Identify when a CPAP may not be the device of
choice

Recognize different uses of bilevel and the
different disease states it is applicable to

Describe what tools are available to:

◦ Increase tolerance and compliance
◦ Treat the disease and/or disorder
Understand how to impact patient
outcomes by proper utilization of
bilevel and its settings
Why patients fail CPAP:




CPAP is uncomfortable
Patient may feel CPAP is uncomfortable at higher
pressures despite pressure relief features
COPD patients have trapped air/pressure in their lungs,
which may increase their work of breathing
Patient may need higher levels of ventilatory support
CPAP cannot provide
Why make the switch from CPAP to Bilevel?
Patient Comfort:
 Cannot tolerate CPAP
 On a high CPAP pressure and cannot tolerate it
Ventilation:
 Obstructive disease
 Restrictive disease
 Neuromuscular disease

Comfort/compliance features
◦ Cpap
 Lower pressure
 Ramp
 Pressure relief (Cflex or EPR)
 Waveform (sine vs square)
◦ Bilevel
 Ramp
 Pressure relief (Ipap and Epap)
 Waveform
 Rise time
 Trigger sensitivity
 Cycle sensitivity
 Ti control (controlling the time in inspiration or expiration)
 Pressure support ( muscle unloading)

apneas occur
The ASV algorithm automatically adjusts the
magnitude of pressure support breath by breath to:
◦ Provide minimal, comfortable support during the overbreathing phase (hyperpnea) or during normal breathing
◦ Increase support during the under-breathing phase
(hypopnea or apnea)

Problem: Patient requires longer expiratory time (i.e. COPD)
Solution: Best option – Shorten Ti Max time
Additional options – Select higher cycle sensitivity,
Select faster rise time

“However, premature cycling may
also have detrimental effects on
patient-ventilator synchrony.
Premature cycling is simply when
the ventilator terminates the breath

Gentile. Respir Care 2011
An early fall in the absolute flow
rates may trigger the transition to
EPAP prematurely. Certain devices
provide a minimum IPAP time to
ensure that IPAP lasts long enough
to allow delivery of an adequate
tidal volume.

(if available) may be increased if
the device cycles from IPAP to

(eg, in restrictive chest wall
disorders).

CPAP may not be the device of choice for specific patients
Diagnoses will be a big determinant of what PAP machine will be
appropriate for the patient
Goals of therapy will tell you what machine you should use
