Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Pulmonary and Circulatory Function after Cardiac Surgery in Infants Less Than Three Months of Age

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was used to support the ventilation of infants less than 3 months of age who had undergone thoractomy for cardiovascular surgery. The functional residual capacity, which was approximately 30 per cent of predicted at zero CPAP, increased 35 per cent in cyano
