Abstract
The early institution of end expiratory pressure has been demonstrated frequently to be beneficial in acute respiratory failure. EPAP without intubation allows early therapy while avoiding the complications associated with the high flow rates utilized with CPAP. Three patients are described, illustrating the administration of EPAP for mild ARDS, aspiration penumonia, and postoperative atelectasis.Keywords
