ABSTRACT:
A device for blowing small volumes of air across a mattress in a crib to prevent the accumulation of undesirable gases includes a pump, blower or fan, an elongated conduit connected to the pump, blower or fan and positioned adjacent the top surface of the mattress. The conduit has a plurality of longitudinally spaced perforations therein so as to provide a plurality of directed air flows across the top surface of the mattress. The conduit can be rested on the top surface of the mattress, but can also be hung from a vertically adjustable side rail by a vertically extensible telescoping mounting bracket. Dual conduits can be connected to the pump, blower or fan in parallel and positioned at either side of the crib. A method for preventing the accumulation of carbon dioxide around a sleeping infant in a crib includes the steps of placing at least one air conduit having a plurality of perforations therein adjacent to top surface of the mattress, connecting a pump, blower or fan to the air conduit, and pumping the air through the perforations of the conduit so as to provide a plurality of air flows directed substantially horizontally across the top surface of the mattress to disperse carbon dioxide exhaled by the infant and ensure the continued normal breathing by the infant.
