I think she means nasal high flow - adults are only on CPAP via a endotracheal tube and ventilator - facial mask in adults is BIPAP. She’s confusing her neonatal knowledge with actual knowledge!
You don’t need to be intubated to be on CPAP. A face mask in adults is not BIPAP. You can be on BIPAP NIV, but having a face mask doesn’t mean you’re ventilated.
Sorry, medical chat done.
I hope her Grandpa does ok.
