We are proud to share this recently published pilot study, which evaluated the feasibility of implementing the Vayu bCPAP System in the delivery room and during transport to the NICU at Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, a Level III NICU in Brazil.

Conducted in collaboration with McGill University, the study assessed the use of the Vayu bCPAP System among both preterm and term infants with respiratory distress. It also captured healthcare providers’ perspectives on using the device in this context.

The authors concluded that the Vayu bCPAP System was both feasible to implement and effective in reducing respiratory distress scores among infants born between 31 and 40 weeks’ gestation, highlighting its potential to support respiratory care from the very first moments of life.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who worked on this paper for making this important work possible through their expertise, collaboration, and commitment to improving newborn care.

📍 Machakos County, Kenya

Vayu Global Health recently conducted a hands-on training on the Vayu Bubble CPAP (bCPAP) and Oxygen Blender System during Project CARE Kenya’s pilot conference in Machakos County, Kenya, in collaboration with the Respiratory Society of Kenya and Trauma & Emergency Nurses from the county.

The training equipped healthcare providers with the practical skills and confidence to safely use Vayu’s neonatal respiratory support devices, helping strengthen their capacity to deliver high-quality care to newborns experiencing respiratory distress.

Project CARE Kenya works to strengthen health systems and improve the quality of care through partnerships, capacity building, and support for healthcare facilities. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important work and collaborate with partners committed to improving newborn health!
