Three cases of severe community acquired pneumonia requiring ventilatory support are presented. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied via a tightly fitting face mask was used and was successful in two cases; the third required intermittent positive pressure ventilation. More extensive use of CPAP in these circumstances should be considered.
本文介绍了三例需要通气支持的重症社区获得性肺炎病例。通过紧密贴合的面罩应用持续气道正压通气(CPAP),两例取得成功;第三例需要间歇正压通气。在这些情况下应考虑更广泛地使用CPAP。
