Within-subject comparisons of tidal breathing parameters of the two CPAP devices Infant Flow System and Babylog 8000 show: (1) a significant influence of the system used; and (2) that the valveless Infant Flow System increases air flow and tidal volume with less fluctuations in CPAP pressures during the breathing cycle.
In order to minimize the lethal risk of gas embolization, the insufflation system has to be completely filled with CO₂ before connecting to the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
