This week’s episode of the Nursing Show podcast for RNs and student nurses features a review on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Since the success of this type of respiratory therapy depends on proper delivery, it is important for nurses to, understand how CPAP works as well as study the indications and considerations before providing CPAP. Nurses should also be informed on the contraindications and complications of CPAP therapy so they would know what to assess in their patients. The program also offers a discussion on the latest medical news and provides links to resource sites.
