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 assist 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.
