 Preterm babies under 32 weeks of gestational age usually needs to be supported with breathing machine because of different kinds of problems like lungs immaturity or infection. One type of breathing machine support is called CPAPContinuous Positive Airway Pressure.This breathing support machine is connected to the nose to help preterm baby breathe. This machine blows air or an airoxygen mixture through the nose and in to the babys lung; this helps to keep babys lungs fully open and makes it easier for the baby to breathe. There are two ways this machine can help the baby breathe - it can either blow the airoxygen mixture at the same pressure all the time...we call that CPAP, or we can vary the pressure - we call that TrPATrigger Pressure Assist. Both methods have been in use in neonatal intensive care unitsNICUs for several years and both methods help with the breathing of babies.
