KM Medical was established to research the global problem of Neonatal Volutrauma and Chronic Lung Disease, their link to over-inflation by current resuscitators and to develop the Next Step™ Neonatal Resuscitator to help mitigate these issues impacting over three million newborns annually.
All current Neonatal Resuscitators, both Self Inflating Bag (SIB) and T-Piece units are pressure-driven and control pressure but not volume as lung compliance changes during resuscitation and ventilation.
The patented Next Step™ Neonatal Resuscitator accurately controls volume, throughout changes in lung compliance, thereby mitigating the risk of Volutrauma and Chronic Lung Disease.
Two Published Comparative Studies Validate Next Step™ Volume Control
SIB & T-Piece resuscitators deliver 4-5 x Target Volume, Next Step™ does not exceed 5mL Target |
