Sponsor's own description
Bubble - Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been reported to be effective, cheaper, simpler and more accessible compared to mechanical ventilator and surfactant treatment for preterms with respiratory distress syndrome in the neighbouring countries. This study aims to implement and determine the effectiveness of bCPAP and its immediate outcomes compared to oxygen therapy in preterm babies presenting with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
