B) BiPAP

  1. Fio2 - 24, to 50%
  2. Often used in the hospital or home setting for the managemeR
  3. Provides a specific concentration of supplemental O2 using color-
    coded diluter pieces to ensure accurate FiO2 delivery
  4. May be used to avoid intubation and mechanical ventilation
  5. Pressure-supported, noninvasive ventilation that provides positive
    inspiratory and end-expiratory pressure

Both deliver air pressure when you breathe in and breathe out. But a BiPAP delivers higher
air pressure when you breathe in. The CPAP, on the other hand, delivers the same amount
of pressure at all times. So the BiPAP makes it easier to breathe out than the CPAP.
