Bi PAP

This mode offers two different levels of air pressure: increased pressure during inhalation and decreased pressure during exhalation.

Instructions to Patient
Patients should refrain from eating 1-2 hours prior to the application of the Bi PAP system.

Additional Information
The most common complication of Non-Invasive Ventilation is abrasion of the nose.  Application of wound-care dressing appears to eliminate this problem.
