Provider Perceptions on Bubble CPAP
Creator: Mihir R. Atreya, MD, MPH
Duration: 2:01
In this video, we highlight the need for provision of effective modes of respiratory support for newborns in low and middle-income countries. We summarize the current evidence on bubble CPAP-a non-invasive and cost-effective method of delivering CPAP. We draw the listener’s attention to the driving factors that led us conduct our research viz. to understand implementation challenges in use of bubble CPAP.
