About BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT
Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation strategy for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration. With this method, blended and humidified oxygen is delivered via short binasal prongs or a nasal mask and pressure in the circuit is maintained by immersing the distal end of the expiratory tubing in water. The depth to which the tubing is immersed underwater determines the pressure generated in the airways of the infant. As the gas flows through the system, it "bubbles out[1] and prevents buildup of excess pressures.
Bubble CPAP is appealing because of its simplicity and low cost.[2][3] It is also associated with a decreased incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)[4] compared to mechanical ventilation. Not all infants with IRDS are candidates for initial treatment with CPAP and not all those who are given CPAP can be successfully managed with this modality.[2]

FAQ's of BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT:
Q: How does the BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT assist in respiratory therapy?
A: The device promotes positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy by creating resistance during exhalation. This process helps mobilize and clear mucus from the airways, improving lung function for both adults and children.
Q: What is included with the BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT upon purchase?
A: Each set includes the PEP circuit device, tubing, a mouthpiece, a bubbler container, and a user manual, supplying everything required for immediate use and maintenance.
Q: Can the BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT be used for both adults and pediatric patients?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for use by adults and children, providing adjustable resistance levels through water to suit various age groups and lung capacities.
Q: How should the device be assembled and maintained?
A: Assembly is simple and does not require tools. After each use, the components can be disinfected either by autoclaving or using approved chemical disinfectants to ensure safety and reusability.
Q: Where can the BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT be used?
A: This device is suitable for hospitals, clinics, homecare, pulmonology settings, and physiotherapy sessions, providing flexibility for diverse respiratory therapy needs.
Q: What benefits does the visual feedback feature provide during use?
A: The visual bubbling feedback allows users and caregivers to monitor therapy in real time, ensuring correct exhalation strength and engagement, which is crucial for effective airway clearance.
Q: Is the device safe for repeated use and storage?
A: Constructed from non-toxic, latex-free, biocompatible materials, the BUBBLE C- PEP CIRCUIT is safe for multiple uses following proper disinfection. Store the device in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maximize its 5-year shelf life.
