The collision of gas molecules between themselves generates a turbulence which creates a virtual valve and simultaneously the speed of gases is transformed in pressure. This pressure depends directly on the flowrate: if the flowrate the amount of gas injected is increased, the pressure will increase; if the flowrate is decreased, the pressure will decrease.

Respiratory assistance device for patients with spontaneous ventilation allowing maintenance in the airways of a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure during the entire respiratory cycle. The CPAP mode of ventilation allows: to recruit collapsed alveoles to restore a satisfactory level of functional residual capacity to improve gas exchange at the level of the alveolocapillary membrane to decrease pulmonary resistance to decrease the work of breathing to redistribute the alveolar liquid to the interstitial space in case of acute pulmonary oedema.
This device comprises 2 lateral ports: the upper port is preconnected to a an extension tube length cm for connection to an air or oxygen source the bottom port colourless translucent allows: controlling pressure use manometer code Additional Info Brochure Video.

This paper reviews the efficacy of using Boussignac CPAP as a treatment for acute respiratory failure in both prehospital and hospital settings.
All studies mainly focused on patients treated for cardiogenic pulmonary edema. In the prehospital setting, Boussigac CPAP significantly improved respiratory parameters and oxygenation from baseline values. In the emergency department setting, Boussignac CPAP was more effective than standard oxygen delivery and just as effective as BiPAP in improving patient oxygenation and respiration.
Boussigac CPAP is a useful device in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure, especially in the prehospital setting.
