Example sentence(s):
  • Kako bi se izbjegla stalna izmjena prenapuhnutosti i atelektaze alveola, što naročito oštećuje stanice i surfaktant u alveolama, sve se više primjenjuje kontinuirani pozitivni tlak u dišnim putevima čime se spriječava kolaps alveola. - CROSBI  
  • Samo djelomično, ali kontinuirano zatvaranje distalnog kraja T-cijevi stvaralo je kontinuirani pozitivni tlak u dišnim putovima pacijenta (CPAP, od engl. continuous positive airway pressure). - KLinički bolnički centar Split  
  • Kontinuirani pozitivni tlak u dišnim putovima (eng. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, CPAP) predstavlja kontinuiranu primjenu pozitivnog tlaka tijekom cijelog dišnog ciklusa pa tlak na kraju izdisaja (odnosno bazalna varijabla) poprima vrijednost veću od 0 kPa. Kao takav, CPAP ne pridonosi smanjenju dišnog rada izravno, već se njegovom primjenom mali dišni putevi održavaju otvorenima što povećava FRC, pridonosi povećanju popustljivosti, olakšava udisaj i time poboljšava oksigenaciju - Repozitorij Medicinskog fakulteta
