COVID-19 and Marfan/VEDS/LDS: Your Questions Answered
57:25-58:54
I'll step in with the CPAP question. The general consensus among the pulmonologist and intensivist about CPAP with COVID is that it's probably not an ideal choice and that is because we always have to be concerned about the spread of these aerosol droplets in patients who have active infection.
ではCPAP（持続陽圧呼吸療法：鼻マスクから加圧された空気を気道に送り込み、気道が潰れるのを防ぐ治療法）の質問に移ります。COVID-19でのCPAP利用については、呼吸器専門医および集中治療医の間で、好ましくないとの意見が一般的です。理由は、エアロゾル飛沫による感染が広がる可能性があるためです。
In a clinical setting, that's a concern for all of the caregivers and all of the technicians that are attached to management but in a home setting, that would be concerning for other family members, who are not infected but could have some exposure to the droplet.
医療現場では、CPAPの管理に当たる医療従事者、家庭では、他の家族への感染のおそれがあります。
So if at all possible, you know, we suggest that we not use a CPAP machine unless someone has very significant or severe sleep apnea and they've been using them on a regular basis in the past. And in that case we suggest that extra measures of quarantine be in place in terms of cleaning out the machine, cleaning out the equipment to make sure that the the chance of droplet spread and could be minimized.
そのため、可能ならば、重度の睡眠時無呼吸がある、あるいはこれまで定期的に利用しているというケースを除き、CPAPは行わないことを推奨します。CPAPを行う場合でも、機器や装置を清潔にし、確実に飛沫の拡散を防ぐといった特別な対策が必要です。
But as a new intervention, it's actively discouraged.
ですが、COVID-19治療としてCPAPを始めることは推奨されません。
