Abstract
Home oxygen programs have evolved to facilitate the discharge of children who have bronchopulmonary dysplasia from neonatal intensive care units. This report describes a method of oxygen delivery for nighttime that is well suited to the home environment. It consists of an "inverted tent" that lines the walls and floor of the crib into which oxygen is flowed via an air entrainment device. This permits rapid equilibration of oxygen up to an FIO2 of 0.40 with a low flow oxygen source from a concentrator. The system is simple, safe, convenient, and economical.Keywords
