The BiPAP ST from Philips Respironics is a non-invasive home ventilator system perfect with an extensive variety of patient needs.
Philips Respironics BiPAP S/T Non-invasive ventilator offers a clear user interface and integrated warmed humidification for simple setup and management.
The BiPAP S/T device is designed to provide non-invasive ventilatory support for the treatment of adult patients weighing over 66 lbs (30 kg) and pediatric patients aged seven years or older weighing over 40 lbs (18 kg) with conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Respiratory Insufficiency. This weight limit ensures the device is suitable for a specific range of patients requiring respiratory support.
If BiPAP is required for an extended period, it is important to have scheduled breaks to allow breathing without the machine. During these breaks, additional oxygen can be provided through a small tube (cannula) placed beneath the nose. For individuals using BiPAP for sleep apnea, it can be used indefinitely during nighttime sleep. The duration of BiPAP usage should be determined based on individual needs and in consultation with healthcare professionals.
The main difference between BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) and CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is how they deliver air pressure. BiPAP machines offer different air pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation, providing a higher pressure during inhalation and a lower pressure during exhalation. On the other hand, CPAP machines deliver constant air pressure regardless of whether the user is inhaling or exhaling. This distinction allows BiPAP to provide customized support for individuals with specific respiratory needs.
To gradually acclimate to using a CPAP/BiPAP machine, it is recommended to begin by using it during nap time. Then, gradually increase usage to 2 to 3 hours during nighttime sleep, eventually progressing to using it for the entire sleep duration. Throughout this process, the healthcare professional or caretaker will provide proper guidance and instructions to ensure a smooth transition and optimal adherence to therapy.
