DEVICE

CPAP

Appropriately sized nasal prongs will be selected for the patient, gently applied ensuring a tight seal, and securely fastened. The CPAP machine will be turned on to deliver a pressure of 5 cm H2O in the inspiratory limb of the system. Patients will be allowed to be in the position of most comfort, preferably with mouth closed to maintain pressure in the circuit.
