CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a method of respiratory therapy aimed at improving the patient's oxygenation status. In this week's episode of the Nursing Show, a discussion on CPAP therapy is featured. Like any other procedure, CPAP is accompanied with complications and contraindications so it is necessary for nurses to be equipped with this information to know what to look out for when providing CPAP therapy. The program also includes nurses in the news and links to resource sites.
