Along with its ability to improve oxygenation by increasing the ____, EPAP also relieves upper airway obstruction with its splinting action.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) improves oxygenation by increasing the functional residual capacity (FRC), which is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal, passive exhalation. This helps in keeping the airways open and prevents collapse, thereby improving oxygenation.
