  • Title: [Continuous positive airway pressure in the spontaneously breathing newborn by means of bilateral nasal cannulation(author's transl)].
    Author: Bossi E.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd (1902); 1975 Apr; 123(4):141-6. PubMed ID: 1097893.
    Abstract:
    Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) by means of a bilateral nasal cannula system has been used in 21 newborns. 15 had hyaline membrane disease, 3 had an aspiration and 3 showed extensive atelectasis. In 18 of the 21 patients, paO2 increased after cannulation, FiO2 being kept unaltered. As a consequence, the oxygen concentration in the inspired gas mixture could be lowered. 3 children had to be intubated endotracheally and ventilated artificially despite previous nasal cannulation. The criteria for using the CPAP and the methodology are described, its advantages, disadvantages and dangers discussed.
