Understanding the Pharmacology: Why Does BiPAP Decrease Preload?
•
4 min read
Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) is a non-invasive ventilation technique that fundamentally alters cardiovascular dynamics, and one of its most significant physiological effects is its ability to decrease cardiac preload. This preload reduction is a key pharmacological mechanism that helps manage conditions like acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
