New York, NY - On Monday, November 6, 2006 at 2 PM EST, Join
experts from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Morgan Stanley
Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian for a webcast discussion
about CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). These experts will
review aspects of the procedure, take questions from participants and
discuss opportunities for working with your hospital's Neonatal
Intensive Care Units to share best practices.
Bubble CPAP or
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a low-tech, labor-intensive
therapy performed on newborns with Respiratory Distress Syndrome to
prevent Chronic Lung Disease. Pressurized oxygen is delivered through
prongs in the baby's nose allowing continuous lung inflation. With
Bubble CPAP, babies breathe with assistance as opposed to a machine
breathing for them. Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive technique unlike
alternatives (i.e. surfactant and ventilators, both require intubation.)
