COVID-19 CPAP Message

It has been in the news that CPAP/BiPAP can be used as a treatment for severe COVID-19 illness. The MODALITY (therapy type) is being used very successfully, but NOT via standard home CPAP or BiPAP machines. The set-up of the home machines is that air exits out the mask and into the room with no viral filter possible. This means that a COVID-19 patient on a home machine is spraying virus out into the room.

• Keep using and cleaning your home CPAP just as you were before the epidemic.
• If you believe you may have COVID-19 and are recuperating at home, take your machine into a private room and use it as before. Anyone entering the room should be wearing a mask and ideally eye protection.
• Thank you so much for all the generous offers to donate machines. Unfortunately, at the moment, we do not have a way to use them on COVID-19 patients safely.
