Course Overview

Continuous BiPAP in Respiratory Failure

Author: Molina Allen, MSN, RN, CCRN

Continuous bilevel–positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is a safe and non-invasive form of supplemental oxygen and respiratory support for patients with hypoxic, hypercapnic, or mixed respiratory failure. Utilizing this ventilation method when a nasal cannula does not normalize blood gases can prevent the need for intubation and mechanical intubation. This may improve outcomes by lowering the risk for ventilator–associated pneumonia and lung restricting that occurs with long-term mechanical ventilatory support.
