Danger of low pressure alarm failure in preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure
European Journal of Pediatrics, 10/20/09

Wald M et al. – The authors conclude that in settings with high flow rates, low CPAP levels, and small prongs, the resistance of the prongs will create enough dynamic pressure within the ventilator circuit to permit the ventilator to compensate a large leakage flow by closing the expiratory valve. Thus, in case of dislodgement of the prongs, the pressure within the ventilator circuit will not decrease below the alarm level, and the machine will not be able to generate an alarm.
