Nasal continuous positive airway pressure: does bubbling improve gas exchange?

C J Morley et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

In a randomised crossover trial, 26 babies, treated with Hudson prong continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from a bubbling bottle, received vigorous, high amplitude, or slow bubbling for 30 minutes. Pulse oximetry, transcutaneous carbon dioxide, and respiratory rate were recorded. The bubbling rates had no effect on carbon dioxide, oxygenation, or respiratory rate.
