Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Can the LeVe CPAP Flow Generator be used safely without inducing hypoxia or carbon dioxide retention? Oxygen saturations will be monitored continuously with a pulse oximeter. End tidal Carbon dioxide levels will be measured continuously ETCO2 sensor. These figures will be recorded anonymously. Oxygen Saturations measured as the flow and pressure of gases in the system during trial use. | — |
