CPAP Versus Bilevel Pressure Support Ventilation in Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

June 17, 2013 updated by: University Hospital, Rouen

CPAP Boussignac Versus Bilevel Pressure Support Ventilation in Severe Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

To evaluate whether bilevel positive airway pressure more rapidly improves ventilation than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with acute pulmonary edema. CPAP is delivered via a simple device connected to oxygen.
