A partnership in learning
For more than five decades, we’ve been dedicated to developing respiratory care devices that save lives and improve outcomes for vulnerable patients. But innovation doesn’t stop at engineering, it thrives on education and collaboration. We’re big on education and big educators, which is why we have teamed with global educational podcast platform The Incubator to foster conversations with clinical experts that empower positive change.

CPAP with Purpose:
Supporting babies in the delivery room and NICU
Tune into our most recent podcast series with hosts and neonatologists from HCA University in Davie, Florida: Director of Neonatal Innovation Dr. Ben Courchia, MD, and Director of Neurodevelopment Dr. Daphna Yasova Barbeau, MD.
EPISODE 1
Extended CPAP: Sustained lung growth, lasting outcomes
This episode explores research on extended CPAP use in stable preterm infants, highlighting findings from two randomized trials that demonstrate improved lung volumes and function. Listen in as the lead researcher offers practical guidance for NICU implementation and encourages multidisciplinary efforts to advance neonatal care.
EPISODE 2
Early bubble CPAP in action: Lowering BPD and death with a delivery room protocol
This discussion covers the multidisciplinary effort behind successful CPAP protocol adoption in the delivery room, emphasizing the importance of thorough training and attention to technical details such as prong sizing, fixation and humidification. He also discusses measurable improvements in clinical outcomes, such as fewer cases of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, reduced intubation rates, and a decline in the number of infants discharged on oxygen.
EPISODE 3
General Manager Laurence Gulliver shares how the F&P Healthcare team is driven by a deep commitment to improving patient care and outcomes through innovations such as the F&P 950™ humidifier. He offers insight into why understanding the needs of caregivers is essential for a New Zealand-based company striving to meet the demands of NICUs worldwide – and why, after 55 years, it will never stop working to improve the products and therapies it produces.
