Infants with which of the following problems would benefit from nasal CPAP?
a. Cleft palate
b. Choanal atresia
c. Patent ductus arteriosus
d. Tracheoesophageal fistula
ANS: C
A newborn with a patent ductus arteriosus has increased pulmonary blood flow and reduced lung compliance and FRC and therefore would benefit from the positive intrathoracic pressure pro-duced by CPAP. The use of CPAP can be dangerous in newborns with choanal atresia, a trache-oesophageal fistula, or a cleft palate.
