News regarding alternative to a Respirator

[JazzysMom]

I agree that the general idea is the same, but as I pointed out to my husband this morning.....there is less risk of MRSA because there is no hole (entry point) thus being less invasive & from what I can see & am aware of (given I have never been on a respirator) is that its more "natural" since its basically moving your lungs instead of forcing air into them.

Someone with more knowledge please correct me!!

I don't know if the same thing happens with adults that happens with babies on ventilators, but when my son was born he was 10 weeks premature and he was on a ventilator for an extended period of time. His lungs were damaged from the pressue of the O2 being forced into his lungs over that long period of time. It's called Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and as a matter of fact, anytime he had pulmonary issues when he was younger it was blamed on the BPD. That is part of the reason it took so long to get a CF diagnosis - he had another reason to explain his pulmonary problems. So I would say if they have an alternative to a vent then that is a awesome step forward.
