Bubble Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: An Effective Low-Cost Intervention for Resource-Constrained Settings

Bubble Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: An Effective Low-Cost Intervention for Resource-Constrained Settings

In this article Egesa and Waibi demonstrate that although evidence has demonstrated the effectiveness of the low-cost bubble nasal CPAP in reducing newborn mortality, its widespread use is yet to be seen in resource-constrained settings. In this review, authors provides a brief overview of the history, physiological benefits, effectiveness, indications, contraindications, and complications of bubble nasal CPAP. They also detail a locally assembled bubble nasal CPAP system used in resource-constrained settings and highlights the care package for neonates receiving bCPAP, failure criteria, and strategies for weaning that are more suited to resource constraint settings.
