While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is being increasingly employed for many forms of acute respiratory failure and postoperative hypoxaemia, most CPAP systems are either 'home made' or incorporated in sophisticated ventilators used in intensive care units. This paper describes the development of a continuous low flow CPAP system using a large latex reservoir bag and venturi generated positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). The system has been successfully used for over twelve months in the general wards, the intensive care unit, accident and emergency department, the recovery ward and the coronary care unit.
虽然持续气道正压通气（CPAP）越来越多地用于多种形式的急性呼吸衰竭和术后低氧血症，但大多数CPAP系统要么是“自制的”，要么是集成在重症监护病房使用的精密呼吸机中。本文描述了一种使用大型乳胶储气囊和文丘里产生的呼气末正压（PEEP）的持续低流量CPAP系统的开发。该系统已在普通病房、重症监护病房、急诊科、恢复病房和冠心病监护病房成功使用了十二个多月。
