An infant breathing aid soother, dummy or pacifier for monitoring the respiration of an obligatory nose breather infant suffering from nasal congestion. It also helps to decongest nasal passages by administering medicated vapours, facilitate oral breathing during nasal congestion and delivering an alarm in the event of respiratory failure. The breathing aid includes an oral member 2, which at the nipple end has an air duct 4 and is secured to a face shield 3 which prevents it from being swallowed. The face shield is fitted with a cylindrical compartment 3a which houses a vapour emitting disc 6 and the tubular air duct assembly 5, the cylindrical compartment is covered by a circular disc assembly which houses a one-way valve 7 and provides attachment for the rear cylindrical compartment 8 which has at least one aperture 8a for allowing ambient air in to the system; it also houses an electronic thermal sensitive micro-air-flow-sensor module 10, which produces an audible alarm in an event of infant respiratory failure. The air duct from the nipple in the oral member extends via various assemblies through to the rear of the device where it reaches ambient air, enabling the infant to breath. |
