Q

describe bubble CPAP and how it works

A
  1. a measuring tape is attached to the outside of the water column
  2. the CPAP level is maintained by submerging the distal end of the expiratory circuit straight down into the fluid from the surface of the water line to a measured depth in centimeters, thus creating the amount of CPAP in centimeters of water
  3. if a higher level of CPAP is needed, the tube can be advanced farther down into the fluid column

Q

why is the minimal flow rate to a B-CPAP (bubble CPAP) necessary

A

the flow rate of humidified gas (6 to10 L/min) is set to meet the inspiratory flow rate requirements of the patient, maintain the CPAP level, and rinse the system of exhaled carbon dioxide

Q

what types of complications may the infant exhibit with an elevated pressure application with CPAP

A

an increased MAP can result in increased alveolar dead space because of mechanical compression of the pulmonary microvasculature
