Flow limitation on CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) refers to a condition where the airflow is restricted or reduced during inhalation, despite the pressure being delivered by the CPAP machine. This can indicate that the airway is partially obstructed, which may lead to ineffective ventilation and insufficient oxygen intake. Monitoring flow limitation helps clinicians adjust CPAP settings to optimize therapy and improve patient outcomes.
