Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, general wards generally were capable of providing up to 15L/ min oxygen. Shortage Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds, High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO), and other intermediary devices have caused many premature deaths during pandemic. this period, we developed OxyJet CPAP, a locally-made 3D printed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device that can provide 60 liters/min oxygen without electric power. This study assessed whether CPAP could be...

Abstract Background: In Low- and Middle-income Countries (LMICs), the general wards typically are limited to providing low-flow oxygen therapy (up 15L/min). However, high-flow treatment, such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV) administered in pre-ICU settings, has effectively reduced intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Here, we describe a low-cost, electricity-free, pressure-driven, 3D-printed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device (‘OxyJet’) which can provide support wards. This...
