Thanks for your explanation...me and my classmates do react the same way like u when we get this situation. I think my lecturer just want us to design the exhalation detector and simply gives us some situation. Now i know shouldn't crack my head to figure on the situation

Hi I am currently doing a design project. the problem given by the engineering lecturer is preterm babies have respiration difficulties. the machine that helps the babies to breathe, just help them to inhale but not exhale. there are nurses in the nursery who massage the babies stomach to exhale. design a something that can detect the exhalation of the babies. I read up information on preterm babies. but i couldn't find any information on babies that exhale by the help of nurse. I only found CPAP and other mechanical ventilators. I would like to know whether the situation given is true? which levels of NICU babies recieve this treatment?
