Validation of an Innovative Newborn Respiratory Package of Equipment and Training

PATH has developed an innovative, low-cost, newborn respiratory package that includes a low-cost bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) device that can blend air/oxygen without compressed air and without electricity. The package includes nasal prongs, a pulse oximeter, as well as training materials. The immediate goal of this project is to eliminate preventable newborn deaths in Uganda by expanding access to safe bCPAP therapy.
