Abstract

A simple modification of a ventilator from use in adults to use in infants is described using only a few inexpensive and readily available components; the system is easily set up, involving little time for the changeover. Since the components are compact and lightweight, there is improved observation of the patient and the chance of accidental extubation is decreased. To date 122 infants have been satisfactorily managed without any complications attributed to the modified ventilator.
