CPAP vs HFNC, an ongoing debate, but does it have to be one or the other? Many times CPAP is the first treatment to respiratory distress in the neonate, where HFNC is used frequently as a weaning tool. Providers make this decision based off of gestational age, diagnosis, and treatment history. Would HFNC be used more if it was easier to transition the patient with no loss of support? What if providers had a better idea of the pressure that was actually being generated by that flow? If you answered yes to either of these questions NeoPAP might be a solution for your NICU.

William Golding once said, “Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.” Once thought to be a period when the brain and body shut down, we now know that sleep is very much a psychologically and physiologically active time. Sleep serves to keep the brain and body in a state of balance; and it affects everything from memory consolidation and body temperature regulation to mood and concentration, cardiac function and insulin sensitivity.

To paraphrase the Talking Heads, “And you may find yourself, [waking up] behind the wheel of a large automobile”. But you are not alone. 40% of drivers in polls conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (2005) and others (Tefft, 2010; Gurubhagavatula, 2020) have admitted to nodding off or falling asleep in the prior year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2011) has estimated that drowsy driving causes 83,000 crashes and more than 1,000 fatalities annually.
