Pre-hospital use of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) has grown and become widely accepted in recent years. As an adjunctive treatment to current oxygen delivery and breathing treatments, CPAP allows our EMTs and paramedics to quickly resolve oxygenation issues in most respitory patients. Physicians Ambulance chooses Emergent Respiratory Products CPAP OS for both ease of use and patient tolerance. The device, by keeping lung tissue expanded throughout the breathing cycle, reduces the need for invasive airway procedures, such as intubation. Reduced need for advanced prehospital airway procedures improves patient comfort, shortens length of hospital stay and reduces risk of infection. Our CPAP devices also allow for concurrent administration of breathing treatments to facilitate a rapid turn around in patient condition.
"A 70% reduction in intubation is huge; for the comfort of the patient, for the cost to the patients, and for their stay in the hospital. CPAP cuts down on all of that." -- Dr. Donald Spaner, MD, Physicians Ambulance Medical Director
