English term or phrase: bilevel positive airway pressure
Definition from Harvard Health Publishing:
A machine that helps people get more air into their lungs when sleeping by increasing the pressure or force of air when breathing in; often used to treat sleep apnea.

Example sentence(s):
  • Recently, volume-targeted bilevel positive airway pressure (VT-BPAP) has been developed in which the IPAP-EPAP difference is automatically adjusted to deliver a target tidal volume ScienceDirect
  • We speculated that bilevel positive airway pressure - spontaneous (BPAP-S), by producing relative hyperventilation, may more readily produce CompSAS activity than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). PubMed
  • Recent studies have demonstrated that short-term administration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in normal subjects causes significant alterations in R-Ri variability. However, we have not encountered any studies on the effects of bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation (Bilevel), which produces biphasic respiratory cycles (inspiratory and expiratory pressures), nor on the possibility of different pressure levels differentially affecting hemodynamic responses and thus cardiac autonomic control.

二相性陽圧呼吸器


Definition from 「Minds ガイドライブラリ」を�:
患者が睡眠中に低換気パターンを示すと吸気圧を自動的に上昇させて、自動的に目標換気量に維持する人工呼吸器。

Example sentence(s):
  • 　慢性心不全（CHF）患者でしばしば問題となる睡眠時無呼吸（SAS）。閉塞性のSASには単相性の持続陽圧呼吸器（CPAP）の治療効果が高いことが知られているが、中枢性のSASでは、二相性陽圧呼吸器（BiPAP）の方が有用であることがわかった。 - 日経メディカル
