Final answer:

CPAP can indeed be administered using a self-inflating bag when a PEEP valve is in place, though this method is non-standard for sleep apnea treatment, which usually uses a CPAP device including a mask and air pump.1. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The question about whether CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) can be administered with a self-inflating bag when a PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure) valve has been placed can be answered with a true. However, in the context of typical CPAP devices for sleep apnea, which include a pump that forces air into the airways, the use of a self-inflating bag with a PEEP valve is not standard practice. The self-inflating bags are generally used in emergency situations or in a medical setting to ventilate patients manually, and may provide PEEP with an attached PEEP valve. CPAP therapy for sleep apnea involves a steady stream of air that maintains the airway pressure consistently.

CPAP can be administered with a self-inflating bag when a PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) valve has been placed.A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device includes a mask that fits over the sleeper's nose and mouth, which is connected to a pump that pumps air into the person's airways, forcing them to remain open. The PEEP valve helps maintain a positive pressure at the end of expiration, preventing the complete collapse of the airways. The self-inflating bag is a manually operated device that can be used in emergency situations to deliver positive pressure ventilation.
