[A new CPAP system]. / Ein neues CPAP-System.

ABSTRACT

The "AMBU-CPAP system" is a new, simple and reliable circuit for administering positive airway pressure in spontaneous-breathing therapy. Some disadvantages of other CPAP devices are avoided, and the use of the system with low gas flow is possible. The change of airway pressure during respiration was measured and was found to be less than 5 millibars.
