Nasal CPAP on paediatric air transport in the Canadian Arctic: A case series
AIMS: Paediatric transport in remote regions of Canada represents a huge challenge given the acuity of the patients, immense distances, weather and lack of road infrastructure. Transport of patients in the Baffin region of Nunavut is completed entirely by air transport. Two very common paediatric tr...

AIMS: Paediatric transport in remote regions of Canada represents a huge challenge given the acuity of the patients, immense distances, weather and lack of road infrastructure. Transport of patients in the Baffin region of Nunavut is completed entirely by air transport. Two very common paediatric transports are in regards to lower respiratory tract infections and premature deliveries in small rural communities north of Iqaluit. Recently, the advent of noninvasive ventilation has been introduced to the region. METHOD: We report five cases of long-distance air transport of paediatric patients in respiratory distress using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). Two cases involve lower respiratory tract infections, and three cases involve neonates (two premature infants and one term infant).
