Title Evaluation: The heading of this paper is “Critical Care Patient's Experience of the Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure”. The title depicts the study purpose by depicting the use in dipping rate of intubation and transience of long-suffering with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a frequent modality for treating the acute failure of respiration in a critical care unit. Traditionally, a firm fixed mask is applied to supply the support for respiration.
