Abstract

Abstract: Worldwide, they are more than one in ten children are born prematurely. Eleven countries, have higher preterm birth rates Premature maturation (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) is strongly associated with difficulty breathing diseases, that is, the leading cause of death for children under five. Because their lungs well developed, enemies in particular exposure to respiratory problems. One such the leading cause of child mortality worldwide Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Currently \ technology (recommended by WHO) by CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), i.e. helps keep the alveoli open by giving continuous distribution of air / oxygen. This ensures that the children stay healthy residual air in the lungs, so it does not they strive to breathe and are continually saved problems such as hypoxia and even death CPAP standalone devices cost more than INR 150, 000 ($ 2300) more expensive many developing hospitals. For the most part hospitals in restricted services, Oxygen treatment in the nose is often the solution available, on the basis of respiratory depression.
