Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To assess the superiority of new type bi-level positive airway pressure(Bi-PAP) in treating overlap syndrome. METHODS Sixteen cases diagnosed overlap syndrome were quickly given Bi-PAP treatment simultaneously,where their therapeutic efficacy of antibiotic,relieving spasm,diuresis and respiratory stimulant in advance was not fine.All patients were divided into new type Bi-PAP and old Bi-PAP groups based on the type of machines used. RESULTS Seven of 16 patients receiving new type Bi-PAP got remission through non-invasive mechanical ventilation.Among the other 9 patients receiving old type Bi-PAP,6 got remission through non-invasive mechanical ventilation,3 received invasive mechanical ventilation because of poor response to non-invasive mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSIONS More acute overlap syndrome patients can get remission through new type Bi-PAP without invasive mechanical ventilation and have decreased possibility of getting hospital-acquired pneumonia.
