Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP)

Description

Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure is a machine that will help you to breathe. It is a form of non-invasive ventilation that healthcare providers might use if you can breathe on your own but are not able to get enough oxygen or throw carbon dioxide. Unlike invasive mechanical ventilation, which connects to a tube in your throat, BiPAP delivers air through a mask on your face.

“Positive Airway Pressure” means that the device pushes the air at very high pressure into your airway, which includes your nose, windpipe (trachea) and mouth. The higher pressure keeps your airway open and can help move air in and out of your lungs.

“Bilevel” means that it will give you the airflow at two different pressures:- Higher pressure used when inhaling and lower while exhaling. These two different pressure levels are known as Inhalation Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) and Exhalation Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP). The machine settings and pressure levels can be adjusted based on your breathing patterns and Gas exchange.

Features of BIPAP

• Bilevel Pressure Settings:- The key feature of BiPAP machines is the ability to deliver two distinct pressure levels during the breathing cycle. The Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) is higher and supports inhalation, while the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) is lower to facilitate the exhalation. This dual-pressure mechanism will help people who may struggle with exhalation against a continuous positive pressure, which is seen in CPAP therapy.

• Pressure Support:- Is the difference between the EPAP and IPAP settings. It represents the additional pressure provided during the inhalation to assist the user’s breathing effort. Pressure support will help in reducing the breathing work and is a critical feature for individuals with respiratory muscle weakness or any other medical condition that require additional support.

• Bi-Flex or Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR):- BiPAP machines often include features such as EPR or Bi-Flex, which results in slight reduction in the pressure during exhalations at an early stage. This feature will enhance your comfort and mimic a more natural breathing pattern. EPR or Bi-Flex is particularly beneficial for individuals who will find continuous positive pressure difficult during the exhalation process.

• Ramp Function:- The ramp function is a gradual increase in pressure over a set period when the BiPAP therapy begins. This feature also allows an individual to start with lower pressure levels, making it easier for you to sleep faster. Ramp function is specifically useful for those who may find the initial pressure more difficult.

• Compliance Monitoring and Data Recording:- Numerous BiPAP machines come with some data recording capabilities, allowing your healthcare professionals to monitor the user’s adherence to therapy, mask fit, and the efficiency of treatment. This data helps your healthcare providers to make informed adjustments to ensure that the therapy is meeting every individual’s needs.
