LISSAUER, Tom et al. Nasal CPAP for neonatal respiratory support in low and middle-income countries Archives of Disease in Childhood – Fetal and Neonatal Edition 2017;102:F194-F196.

The use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for neonatal respiratory support is increasing in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). WHO recommends its use in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.1 Although the development of low-cost delivery systems has increased the availability of CPAP, it is not a simple intervention. Our experience of introducing NCPAP into LMICs including Rwanda, Malawi, Armenia, Papua New Guinea and other countries indicates that many issues need addressing for its successful introduction and use.
