Abstract
Artificial respiration techniques for patients with respiratory disorder are important as a basic life support treatments for the patients. The nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is a typical clinical treatment for infants keeping self respiration. Some devices for the nasal CPAP have been used in clinical procedure. However, in order to reduce the load for patients in the treatments, the downsizing and improvement of fitting of the devices are required. A new type device of nasal CPAP has been developed by the authors, but its performance in MAP (Mean Airway Pressure) variation did not meet the condition for clinical use. In this report, the performance of a nasal CPAP device improved has been investigated and it has been clarified that the performance was meet to clinical use.
