Abstract

Respiratory Distress Syndrome is a major contributor towards Neonatal Mortality Rate. Effective ventilation strategies which are safe, effective and low cost are required to manage neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome in resource limited low and middle income countries. Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure has emerged recently as one such alternative.
