Sep 8, 2021 · Helmet CPAP therapy markedly improves oxygenation in COVID-19 patients (PaO 2 /FiO 2 nearly doubles compared to standard oxygen therapy, P < 0.001 for CPAP effect at ANOVA RM). The oxygenation increase was more pronounced in patients who could be successfully treated with helmet CPAP without escalation to intubation (white boxes, P …

Sep 1, 2021 · This practical review summarizes the COVID-19 respiratory physiology, the evidence to date for helmet use as well as step-by-step instructions for clinicians to deliver CPAP with a helmet for patients requiring noninvasive respiratory support during a respiratory pandemic such as COVID-19.

Helmet CPAP (H-CPAP) has been recommended in many guidelines as a noninvasive respiratory support during COVID-19 pandemic in many countries around the world. It has the least amount of particle dispersion and air contamination among all noninvasive devices and may mitigate the ICU bed shortage duri …

May 1, 2023 · Helmet CPAP improves oxygenation by keeping the airway open throughout the breathing cycle with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). This narrative review describes the technical aspects and clinical indications of helmet continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

CPAP delivered by helmet rapidly improves oxygenation in patients with CAP suffering from a moderate hypoxemic ARF. This trial represents a proof-of-concept evaluation of the potential usefulness of CPAP in patients with CAP.

Helmet CPAP is one of the potential NIV interface in patients with acute respiratory failure presenting to the emergency department. It is better tolerated for prolonged usage, reduced intubation rate, improved respiratory parameters, and offers protection against aerosolization in infectious diseas …

We describe the history and our experience of introducing helmet continuous positive airway pressure (H-CPAP) to healthcare in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the potential of this noninvasive ventilation (NIV) support method during this pandemic, the timeline of its introduction, and obstacles to its adoption.

The Dimar helmet range comes with a soft and flexible CPAP helmet to be used with a continuous flow generator and a more rigid ventilator helmet to be used with any standard ICU ventilator. With 6 ISO connectors, it offers better synchrony with a ventilator and maximum patient comfort.

We hereby report the results of a prospective single-center cohort study, which was conducted to compare the clinical outcome of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 and treated with helmet vs facemask CPAP. The study was conducted at the Hospital General de Agudos Dr Juan A. Fernández (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Sep 29, 2022 · Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered with a helmet interface, rather than a facemask, may prevent endotracheal intubation in patients with COVID-19 and moderate-to-severe respiratory failure, researchers reported in Chest.
