[CPAP GENERATION BY A NON MECHANICAL DEVICE: THE BOUSIGNAC SYSTEM].
Revista de Enfermería 2016 Februrary
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is to establish a supraatmosferica pressure throughout the respiratory cycle on which the patient vent spontaneously. Its use improves the clinical and gasometrics parameters when applied with appropriate selection criteria in the context of respiratory failure acute (IRA) hypoxemic. It has been demonstrated that applying CPAP early, decreases the need for intubation and associated complications, as well as survival, reducing health care costs and hospital stay. The use of valve Boussignac for applying a CPAP is spreading especially in the delivered environment and emergencies as a device not mechanical, simple, easy to use and transport, which can manage enough pressures to manage the patient hypoxemia. Its application is so simple that it does not need a comprehensive training and general care does not differ from other methods of mechanical ventilation noninvasive (adapted). In fact, already exist in Spain ambulances equipped with this device that can be applied and managed only by the nurse.
