  • Title: [Treatment of hyaline membrane disease by a new method of continuous positive pressure, 1st results].
    Author: Schneegans E, Burgun P, Peter JD, Cajuste G.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1975 May 31; 4(22):1629-32. PubMed ID: 765963.
    Abstract:
    In this article the authors report their experience with regard to the use of continuous positive pressure by means of a nasal appliance in the treatement of hyaline membrane disease. In addition to mechanical respiratory assistance and economy in the administration of oxygen procured by continuous positive pressure, its use in conjunction with the nasal appliance has led to some progress being made in comparison with the so-called "bag" technique of Martin-Bouyer. In particular, the positive pressure method can be used without undue risk with children weighing less than 2000 grams at birth whereas the "bag" technique has shown itself to be too dangerous for them.
