Instructions for Resmed Elite 2

A Resmed Elite II is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, a small electrical unit that can blow air at a high enough pressure to keep a patient's airway open. This machine often negates the need for tracheal intubation in cases of respiratory failure. It can be used at home, but requires a prescription from a physician.
