This video was created generously by Accent Media, in PA, after Chad, the creative director, lost his beloved mother to ARDS. Chad wanted to do something to make a difference and his partners who witnessed the devastation of ARDS, were happy to help. Accept Media donated their time and expertise. Those in the video likewise did so because ARDS awareness is our passion. For additional info go to Ardsusa.org, call 312-749-7079 or contact me. I hope that you will find this to be informative and let others know about this horrific syndrome.

Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian
On Monday, November 6, 2006 at 2 PM EST, Join experts from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian for a webcast discussion about CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). These experts will review aspects of the procedure, take questions from participants and discuss opportunities for working with your hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Units to share best practices.
Bubble CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a low-tech, labor-intensive therapy performed on newborns with Respiratory Distress Syndrome to prevent Chronic Lung Disease. Pressurized oxygen is delivered through prongs in the baby’s nose allowing continuous lung inflation. With Bubble CPAP, babies breathe with istance as opposed to a machine breathing for them. Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive technique unlike alternatives (i.e. surfactant and ventilators, both require intubation.)

Caregivers at Texas Health Resources are using Bubble CPAP — Continuous Positive Airway Pressure — to address the issues that can arise in premature infants born with very low birthweight.
The intent is to reduce chronic lung disease.
Bubble CPAP provides a little bit of boost when babies are breathing spontaneously, to ist their own respirations and help to maintain lung inflation at the end of their breaths.
It is noninvasive and allows new parents to bond with their baby in a way that is not possible when an infant is on a ventilator.
