Abstract:
The modification of respiratory support, applied in infants breathing by nasal CPAP devices is discussed. On the ground of data obtained in several clinical trials and theirs own experiences, the authors suggest intubation in infants the increasing oxygen requirements, when the value of FiO(2) is above 0.45 and brief instillation of surfactant. After positive pressure ventilation, lasting several minutes, the infant is extubated and the breathing is continued by the nasal CPAP as a noninvasive respiratory support.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
