Noise levels during neonatal helmet CPAP

To improve the patient-ventilator interface, we developed a new device (neonatal helmet CPAP) to administer CPAP in preterm infants. 2 In a short-term physiological study, neonatal helmet CPAP appeared to be a feasible method of supporting the breathing of preterm infants with better tolerability co...

Zusammenfassung:	To improve the patient-ventilator interface, we developed a new device (neonatal helmet CPAP) to administer CPAP in preterm infants. 2 In a short-term physiological study, neonatal helmet CPAP appeared to be a feasible method of supporting the breathing of preterm infants with better tolerability compared with conventional nCPAP. 2 Furthermore, this new device allows the delivery of accurate nitric oxide levels, thus avoiding NO2 accumulation. 3 In a bench study, we measured the noise levels generated by neonatal helmet CPAP.
