title: [High-frequency modulated positive pressure in the treatment of pneumopathies in premature infants].
abstract: The application of high frequency modulated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) into the airways by using a binasal cannula is described. High frequency oscillation of 15 Hz at amplitude depth of modulation of 15-25% of the overpressure value was modulated on the basic CPAP. The equipment used is described and some results obtained in using this therapy are presented. The frequency of spontaneous ventilation was decreased, PaO2 increased in the first hours of therapy, pH became rapidly normalized and clinical signs of respiratory distress were disappearing. The reported therapeutic method resulted in reduced mortality rate of immature infants.
