Key result
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) affects cardiac output based on the balance between indirect benefits from apnea relief and direct effects of positive pressure on the heart.
Why the study?
Does continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) affect cardiac output in patients with normal cardiac function, heart failure, or obstructive sleep apnoea?
Does continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) affect cardiac output in patients with normal cardiac function, heart failure, or obstructive sleep apnoea?
The net effect of CPAP on cardiac output depends on the balance between relieving apneas and the direct hemodynamic effects of positive intrathoracic pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Net CPAP effects on cardiac output vary by cardiac status; leaves open individualized titration trials in HF and OSA.
Deegan et al. (1995) conducted a review in Obstructive sleep apnoea. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) was evaluated on Cardiac output. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) affects cardiac output based on the balance between indirect benefits from apnea relief and direct effects of positive pressure on the heart.
