PHONEX Nasal CPAP Unit NCPAP 300

Product Description:

A full 60% of the infants born after 28 weeks of pregnancy or less are prone to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The lungs of these infants are underdeveloped, and the required gas exchange cannot take place. Hence their breathing needs external support. NCPAP 300 prevents airway closure and maintains the functional residual capacity. It has been ergonomically designed and is remarkably easy to operate. The bubble CPAP apparatus is straightforward; it consists of a breathing circuit with an inspiratory limb that delivers a heated humidified gas mixture to the newborn and an expiratory limb that is immersed in water in a container to achieve the required pressure. Gas flow produces bubbles beneath the water, causing oscillations in the water level and, as a result, the pressure provided to the patient.
