OPT-bCPAP Oxygen Optimization Therapy through BCPAP for management of childhood pneumonia in general hospitals of LMICs
Coordinator: UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN LUNG INSTITUTE PTY LTD* (ZA)
Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality especially among children in sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria and Ethiopia are among the 5 countries that account for half of the under-five pneumonia deaths. Majority of the deaths from pneumonia are however preventable with early diagnosis and appropriate management.

Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) is a method of delivering oxygen and…
