Objective: To evaluate whether bilevel positive airway pressure, by actively assisting inhalation, more rapidly improves ventilation, acidemia, and dyspnea than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with acute pulmonary edema.Design: Randomized, controlled, double-blind trial.Setting: Emergency department in a university hospital.Patients: Twenty-seven patients, presenting with acute pulmonary edema, characterized by dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, accessory muscle use, bilateral rales, and typical findings of congestion on a chest radiograph.interventions: In addition to standard therapy, 13 patients were randomized to receive nasal CPAP (10 cm H2O), and 14 patients were randomized to receive nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (inspiratory and expiratory positive airway pressures of 15 and 5 cm H2O, respectively) in the spontaneous/timed mode that combines patient flow-triggering and backup time-triggering.Measurements and Main Results: After 30 mins, significant reductions in breathing frequency (32+/-4 to 26+/-5 breaths/min), heart rate (110+/-21 to 97+/-20 beats/min), blood pressure (mean 117+/-28 to 92+/-18 mm Hg), and Pace, (56+/-15 to 43+/-9 torr [7.5+/-2 to 5.7+/-1.2 kPa]) were observed in the bilevel positive airway pressure group, as were significant improvements in arterial pH and dyspnea scores (p
