  • The Use of Bubble CPAP in Premature Infants: Local Experience
    HK J Paediatr (new series) 2007;12:86-92 The Use of Bubble CPAP in Premature Infants: Local Experience KM CHAN, HB CHAN Abstract Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was introduced more than 30 years ago for infants with respiratory distress. With this, there had been reports of decreased incidence of mechanical ventilation and chronic lung disease among the premature, as well as less failure of extubation. This report described how this treatment modality was adopted locally and showed it might be associated with less apnoea among very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants post extubation with improved non-pulmonary outcomes. Key words Apnoea of prematurity; Bubble CPAP; Chronic lung Disease; ELBW babies; VLBW babies Introduction device. Pressure can be generated from the following three ways.4 Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a method Firstly, the expiratory valve of the ventilator is used to of delivering positive end-expiratory pressure with a adjust the expiratory pressure. Secondly, the pressure is variable amount of oxygen to the airway of a spontaneously generated by adjusting the inspiratory flow or altering the breathing patient to maintain lung volume during expiration, expiratory resistance (e.g. Infant Flow Nasal CPAP system, so as to reduce atelectasis, respiratory fatigue and to VIASYS Healthcare, Inc.

  • A Pilot Study of Improvised CPAP (Icpap) Via Face Mask for the Treatment of Adult Respiratory Distress in Low-Resource Settings Brendan H
    Milliner et al. International Journal of Emergency Medicine (2019) 12:7 International Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s12245-019-0224-0 Emergency Medicine PRACTICE INNOVATIONS IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE Open Access A pilot study of improvised CPAP (iCPAP) via face mask for the treatment of adult respiratory distress in low-resource settings Brendan H. Milliner1* , Suzanne Bentley2,3 and James DuCanto4 Abstract Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a mode of non-invasive ventilation used to treat a variety of respiratory conditions in the emergency department and intensive care unit. In low-resource settings where ventilators are not available, the ability to improvise a CPAP system from locally available equipment would provide a previously unavailable means of respiratory support for patients in respiratory distress. This manuscript details the design of such a system and its performance in healthy volunteers. Methods: An improvised CPAP system was assembled from standard emergency department equipment and tested in 10 healthy volunteers (6 male, 4 female; ages 29–33). The system utilizes a water seal and high-flow air to create airway pressure; it was set to provide a pressure of 5 cmH2O for the purposes of this pilot study. Subjects used the system in a monitored setting for 30 min. Airway pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and end-tidal CO2 were monitored. Comfort with the device was assessed via questionnaire. Results: The system maintained positive airway pressure for the full trial period in all subjects, with a mean expiratory pressure (EP) of 5.1 cmH2O (SD 0.7) and mean inspiratory pressure (IP) of 3.2 cmH2O (SD 0.8).

  • Bubble Bilevel Ventilation Facilitates Gas Exchange in Anesthetized Rabbits
    www.nature.com/pr CLINICAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Bubble bilevel ventilation facilitates gas exchange in anesthetized rabbits Stephen C. John1, Azmath Mohammed2, Joseph T. Church1, Anna V. John1, Elena M. Perkins1, Jennifer S. McLeod1, Benjamin D. Carr1, Sue Smith1, J. Hudson Barnett3, Peter A. Gustafson3, Macdonald Dick1 and Sunil P. John1 BACKGROUND: Bubble continuous positive airway pressure is an established therapy for infants in respiratory distress. In resource- limited settings, few treatment options exist for infants requiring further respiratory support. A bubble bilevel device has been developed to provide nonelectric, time-cycled, pressure-limited respiratory support. We compared the efficacy of bubble bilevel ventilation with conventional mechanical ventilation in sedated rabbits. METHODS: Six adult rabbits under inhaled isoflurane general anesthesia were ventilated by alternating intervals of conventional and bubble bilevel ventilation for three 10−15-min periods. During each period, interval arterial blood gas (ABG) measurements were obtained after at least 10 min on the respective mode of ventilation. RESULTS: The bubble bilevel system was able to deliver the following pressures: 20/7, 15/5, 12/5, 8/5 cm H2O. The estimated differences in arterial blood gas values on bubble bilevel vs. ventilator were as follows (normalized values): pH 7.41 vs. 7.40, pCO2 37.7 vs. 40, pO2 97.6 vs. 80. In addition, the bubble bilevel ventilation delivered consistent pressure waveforms without interruption for over 60 min on two rabbits. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates promising in vivo results on the efficacy of a novel bubble bilevel device, which may prove 1234567890();,: useful for infants in respiratory distress.

  • Bubble Nasal CPAP Manual
    1 Bubble nasal CPAP manual Riyadh AL-Kharj Hospital Programme Neonatal intensive care 2005 Amer Ammari, MB, BS Fawaz Kashlan, MD Faisal Ezzedeen, MD Atyah AL-Zahrani, MD John Kawas, RRT M.A. Majeed-Saidan, MB. Ch.B., FRCP Adapted from the “NCPAP Education and training manual” By J.M. Conner, R. de Klerk and A. de Klerk. PREFACE Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is due to a deficiency of pulmonary surfactant. Seventy one % of very low birth weight infants had RDS, and 35% of them still required oxygen at 36 weeks adjusted age (Vermont Oxford Network 2001). Along with significant mortality, RDS is associated with significant morbidity and high costs to society. Pulmonary surfactant lines the surface of the alveoli in the lung, thereby reducing surface tension and preventing alveolar collapse. Surfactant deficiency results in progressive atelectasis of the alveoli, decreased pulmonary compliance, increased work of breathing, respiratory failure, and lung injury. The earlier the gestational age, at which birth occurs, the higher the risk that severe respiratory distress syndrome will develop. Historically, conventional therapy for this disorder has consisted of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mechanical ventilation, along with appropriate supportive care. In the past decade, surfactant replacement has led to significant improvements in survival, particularly for infants less than 1000 grams. However, attempts to treat RDS may lead to lung injury, and secondary complications including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and chronic lung 2 disease (CLD). This lung injury is thought to result from the effect of mechanical injury due to assisted ventilation, oxygen toxicity, and lung inflammation among other factors.

  • Efficacy and Safety of CPAP in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
    OPEN Journal of Perinatology (2016) 36, S21–S28 © 2016 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved 0743-8346/16 www.nature.com/jp SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS Efficacy and safety of CPAP in low- and middle-income countries A Thukral, MJ Sankar, A Chandrasekaran, R Agarwal and VK Paul We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the (1) feasibility and efficacy and (2) safety and cost effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). We searched the following electronic bibliographic databases—MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, EMBASE and WHOLIS—up to December 2014 and included all studies that enrolled neonates requiring CPAP therapy for any indication. We did not find any randomized trials from LMICs that have evaluated the efficacy of CPAP therapy. Pooled analysis of four observational studies showed 66% reduction in in-hospital mortality following CPAP in preterm neonates (odds ratio 0.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14 to 0.82). One study reported 50% reduction in the need for mechanical ventilation following the introduction of bubble CPAP (relative risk 0.5, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.66). The proportion of neonates who failed CPAP and required mechanical ventilation varied from 20 to 40% (eight studies). The incidence of air leaks varied from 0 to 7.2% (nine studies). One study reported a significant reduction in the cost of surfactant usage with the introduction of CPAP. Available evidence suggests that CPAP is a safe and effective mode of therapy in preterm neonates with respiratory distress in LMICs. It reduces the in-hospital mortality and the need for ventilation thereby minimizing the need for up-transfer to a referral hospital.
