ylipainehengitys


Definition from Hengitysliitto:
Uniapnean hoidossa käytetään yleisesti nenän kautta annettavaa ylipainehengityshoitoa eli nenä-CPAP -hoitoa (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). Siinä kasvoille asetettavan nenämaskin kautta hengitetään huoneilmaa pienellä ylipaineella, mikä estää hengitysteiden tukkeutumista unen aikana.

Example sentence(s):
  • Varhain synnytyssalissa aloitettu nasaalinen ylipainehengityshoito on ilmeisesti turvallista pikkukeskosen alkuhoidossa ja stabiloinnissa. - Duodecim: Käypä hoito

  • Ylipainehengityshoito (CPAP) on tehokas hoitomuoto monille uniapneaa sairastaville, ja sen laitteistot paranevat koko ajan. - Uniliitto
