What is the starting flow setting for the Boussignac CPAP system?

The starting flow setting for the Boussignac CPAP system is typically set at 15 liters per minute. This flow rate is established to ensure that there is sufficient pressure generated to maintain positive airway pressure within the respiratory system, which is essential for patients experiencing conditions like respiratory distress. By utilizing this starting point, the system can effectively assist with oxygenation and ventilation while minimizing the risks of complications that can arise from inadequate pressure settings. The 15 LPM flow rate is designed to strike a balance between providing enough pressure to assist with breathing while also being manageable for the patient. Adjustments can be made based on the patient’s response and clinical needs.
