• Bilevel positive airway stress (BPAP) is a mode used during non-invasive ventilation (NIV). First used in 1988 with the aid of Professor Benzer in Austria, it grants a preset inspiratory tremendous airway pressure (IPAP) and expiratory fantastic airway strain (EPAP). BPAP can be defined as a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine with a time-cycle change of the applied CPAP stage.

• CPAP/APAP, BPAP, and other non-invasive air flow modes had been proven to be powerful control tools for continual obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory failure, sleep apnea, and many others.

• Often BPAP is incorrectly referred to as “BiPAP”. BiPAP is the call of a portable ventilator manufactured by means of Respironics Corporation; it is simply considered one of many ventilators that can deliver BPAP.
