    Citation Excerpt :

    Bubble CPAP has been used successfully in neonatal care in developed countries since the 1970s, and is promoted for its simplicity, low cost, and potential applicability for neonatal care in low-resource settings.16,17 However, the efficacy of bubble CPAP has not been assessed for children with pneumonia in developing countries.18 Another popularised method of respiratory support beyond standard flow oxygen supplementation uses a humidified high-flow mixture of air and oxygen via a nasal oxygen cannula.
