[Easy alteration of the PEEP-system to CPAP by using exclusively original bird parts (author's transl)]. 1977

R H Borst, and H Wolf

In various situations breathing with positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and spontaneous respiration with continously positive airway pressure (CPAP) is of advantage to the patient. Not all intensive care units are equipped with the modern apparatus that makes possible alternative application of PEEP and CPAP. We have developed a system using a BIRD Mark 7 or 8 that allows alteration of PEEP to CPAP by only few manipulations. As a safety measure we exclusively apply original parts of the same firm (BIRD). The system allows exact adjustment and controllable application of a continuous positive airway pressure, exact proportion of oxygen in the inspired gas, moistening of the in spired air and nebulization of medicaments. If the patient should show inadequate ventitation after a certain times then artificial respiration with the PEEP system is quickly possible with only a few manipulations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011175 Positive-Pressure Respiration A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.
