CPAP and non-invasive ventilation (NIV)

…commonest source of error is confusing them. CPAP delivers a constant pressure that recruits alveoli and unloads the heart, whereas bilevel NIV delivers pressure support…

🚫 Answer to ECG quiz 5

…waves are not related to QRS. PP interval is constant, but independent of RR interval, which is also constant. Atria and ventricles are depolarized separately…
