Notes: Abstract A continuous high flow CPAP system incorporating a turbine blower is described. The system achieves inspiratory flow rates of 150l/min or more by means of reticulated gas flow and inspired oxygen fractions of 0.21–0.95. Positive airway pressure is provided by weighted disc valves and a modified aviationtype CPAP face mask provides electronic communication with the patient. The mobility of the system also enables its use as an intermittent physiotherapy aid. Work of breathing of the system, as assessed by total pressure fluctuations, is at a minimum.
