  1. Not recommending this:  you could just give her everything including your organs, life, all financial assets and then one day die.  How's that sound to ya?

     

    Remember this, just like to an alcoholic, i can guarantee you, whatever you give/do it will never be enough...

    They are not using CPAP as it is.

     

    They have retrofitted it with significant modifications.

     

    It does save considerable time over building from scratch, so it is an advantageous approach. But by no means is it the case that a regular home CPAP device will do the trick and people should not think that it will.

     

    One of the big drawbacks is that CPAP only delivers room air. People with viral pneumonia need a higher concentration of oxygen. In addition one needs to be able to adjust and control the pressure flow and the volume.

     

    Again, anyone having significant trouble breathing needs to be hospitalized.

     

    True.  It is a modified CPAP used to help when options are unavailable.  Not to be the first choice.

    CPAP can increase the work of breathing as exhalation against +ve pressure requires effort as opposed to exhaling to normal atmospheric pressure which is passive ........

    Breaking news via BBC...Mercedes formula 1 teamed with doctors in italy to develop a CPAP device they can develop 1,000 devices/day.  Italy doctors found that over 50% of patients on CPAP avoided a ventilator and sedation.  THerefore, CPAP DOES WORK.
