56 | CLINICAL | BiPAP vs CPAP: Siblings, Not Twins (Part 2)
Description
CPAP and BiPAP often get lumped together in EMS—but they solve different problems. In Part 2 of this two-part series, we break down why these tools are siblings, not twins, and how choosing the right one starts with understanding what is actually failing in your patient.
This episode focuses on the patients behind non-invasive ventilation. We address scenarios where your patient's condition may depend on your ability to choose appropriately between CPAP and BiPAP.
By the end of Part 2, even a brand-new EMT will be able to explain why they chose CPAP or BiPAP—not just what they did.
