An Innovative Air-Oxygen Blender for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Support in Resource-Poor Locations: A Feasibility Study

摘要

Objectives: The objectives of this study are (i) to evaluate the feasibility of using an inexpensive air pump to maintain reliable oxygen concentration in a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system and (ii) to evaluate whether an inexpensive air pump can maintain infant 02 sats > 90%.
