It is assumed that the most important advantage of jet-CPAP systems is a lower expiratory resistance (RE). We investigated the RE of seven different CPAP systems. We studied two primary-care CPAP systems, three jet-CPAP generators, and two conventional CPAP devices. All devices were adjusted at 6 mbar and connected with a test lung simulating a standardized expiration volume. Maximum pressure increase during expiration was measured and maximum RE was calculated. In primary-care CPAP devices, the maximum RE of the Benveniste valve was 9.7 mbar/L/s (SD 1.2) while that of the Neopuff was 102.8 mbar/L/s (SD 7.9) (P < 0.01). In jet-CPAP devices, the RE of the Infant Flow was 6.8 mbar/L/s (SD 1.7), the one of the Medijet REF 1000 was 43.5 mbar/L/s (SD 1.5), and that of the Medijet REF 1010 was 36.7 mbar/L/s (SD 0.3) (P < 0.01). In conventional CPAP systems, the RE of the Baby Flow was 29.7 mbar/L/s (SD 1.1) and that of the Bubble CPAP was 37.1 mbar/L/s (SD 4.3) (P < 0.01). All CPAP devices created an RE. Jet-CPAP devices did not produce lower RE than conventional CPAP devices. REFERENCES 1 Benveniste D, Pedersen JE.
