DEVICE

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

In the first moment, CPAP will be installed, and the researcher will hold a mask in the position in which it is coherent, explaining the method to the patient and allowing their gradual adaptation. Patients will adapt for a few minutes to make sure the mask is consistent with the specifications, so that the patient is comfortable. Participants in the intervention group will start with a PEEP of 1cmH2O that will increase by 2 cmH2O until a PEEP of 10 cmH2O is reached. Therefore, participants in the intervention group will remain with CPAP, PEEP of 10cmH2O, FiO2 0.21, for a period of 40 minutes.
