Delivering oxygen-enriched CPAP respiratory support using a non-invasive ventilation device	2020-04-11		.txt	text/plain	670	34	53	title: Delivering oxygen-enriched CPAP respiratory support using a non-invasive ventilation device Our intention is to maximise use of existing resources available to HCPs, as NIV and sleep apnoea (CPAP) machines are widely available, to deliver therapeutic benefit and potentially avoid the need for positive pressure ventilation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This offers the possibility to entrain O2 either at the system's low pressure air inlet, or in the pressurised air-stream near the ventilation mask as shown in Figure 1 . . is representative of the relative performance of these two configurations and suggests that relatively low flow-rates of oxygen can be used to obtain therapeutic FiO2 levels. In conclusion, positive pressure ventilators can provide an effective means to deliver CPAP with oxygen-enriched air for therapeutic intervention using standard equipment and fittings, whilst minimising the oxygen demands on hospital infrastructure when treating large numbers of patients.	./cache/cord-325388-xs9lot5s.txt	./txt/cord-325388-xs9lot5s.txt
