CPAP Skills Sheet
https://app.luminpdf.com/viewer/60611...

CPAP Stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure which is used to ventilate patients with critical respiratory system distress. CPAP is a prehospital ventilation system, that in some cases, may eliminate the need for Endotracheal Intubation. It is a portable non-invasive ventilatory support system that administers positive oxygen pressure to help patients receive 10 cm H2O into their respiratory system.

Although CPAP is an amazing piece of prehospital equipment, using it incorrectly out in the field may injure a patient with irreversible consequences. Using the equipment properly is critical, because knowing WHEN TO and WHEN NOT TO use the CPAP may mean the difference between saving a life or otherwise.

Before applying the CPAP on a patient, be sure the explain the procedure and gain their participation. Let the patient know that there will be a loud noise that comes from the oxygen tank through the Fixed Flow Generator and that the mask is large and bulky, but must fit over their face. If the patient comprehends your instructions, they are most likely to participate in the CPAP Administration. Otherwise, they may become scared at the sound and not allow you to place the mask over their face due to claustrophobia and they'll want to remove the mask, because they are already struggling to breath.

The skills sheet associated with this skills can be found above and it will help Rescuers to follow along with the educational video provided. Be sure to watch video and read the skills sheets often, because this may be considered a SELDOM USED SKILL.

DISCLAIMER: First and foremost, this video was created for the visually and hearing impaired audience in mind as we believe anyone should be able to learn. If there are any improvements, please feel free to comment, so that we can take your information under advisement.

The training video is designed for Students, First Responders, and Emergency Medical Personnel. The training information provided in these videos are primarily designed for Emergency Medical Students that need a visual of the skill before attending their Skills Lab to practice and test. Every school, college, organization and agency may follow different training protocols, therefore adjustments may be made to fit the training and testing needs. The video is also designed for First Responders that need to "Refresh" their knowledge, skills and abilities to improve their performance out in the field. Whether you have the specific equipment, make-shift props, or simply observing, the video is designed for you to watch and then practice by following the instructions and repeating the information provided. Pausing the video is helpful, so that you may read instructional information and repeat for the purpose of memorizing key concepts. Notice that the displayed text and the instructor verbiage may not always match 100% of the time, because the idea is for you to formulate your own phraseology while hitting the key points as you speak. Although you are expected to know specific terminology, the manner in which you express them should feel natural to you when verbalizing it out loud to your classmates, proctor, co-workers and/or patient; especially if English is your second language. Always check with your EMS Instructor for feedback to ensure you follow current performance expectations.
