BackgroundBubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) is used in resource-limited settings for children with respiratory distress. Low-cost modifications of bCPAP use 100% oxygen and may cause morbidity from oxygen toxicity. We sought to test a novel constructible low-cost entrainment syringe system (LESS) oxygen blender with low-cost modified bCPAP in a relevant clinical setting.MethodsWe conducted a clinical trial evaluating safety of the LESS O2 blender among hospitalized children under five years old in rural Cambodia evaluating the rate of clinical failure within one hour of initiation of the LESS O2 blender and monitoring for any other blender-related complications.FindingsThirty-two patients were included. The primary outcome (clinical failure) occurred in one patient (3.1%, 95% CI = 0.1–16.2%). Clinical failure was defined as intubation, death, transfer to another hospital, or two of the following: oxygen saturation |
