Rice students, working with advisers at Texas Children's Hospital, have created the "Baby Bubbler," or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device, to help children with acute respiratory infections breathe naturally as they recover.

  • The depth at which the tube is inserted in the Jar of water determines/limits the pressure delivered to the baby. I am glad to see medical students showing some understanding of basic Respiratory Care equipment, but I am really concerned that these kids are going off "half-cocked" with this device. If this was being done in the USA the FDA would have to go over this and give some kind of stamp of approval. Do we just dump stuff off on the rest of the world untested and unapproved?

  • The question is can the "baby bubbler" measure the amount of pressure that it is delivering to the patient? Some of the neonates/infants with underdeveloped lungs cannot handle high pressures.  Is there a limiter or something that can change the pressure?
