In the absence of effective interventions to prevent preterm births, improved survival of
infants who are born at the biological limits of viability has relied on advances in perinatal …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a noninvasive form of respiratory
assistance that has been used to support spontaneously breathing infants with lung disease …

Non-invasive techniques of respiratory support were developed in order to reduce the
adverse effects associated with ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Short bi-nasal prongs …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is increasingly used for respiratory
support in preterm babies at birth and after extubation from mechanical ventilation. Various …

Non-invasive ventilatory support can reduce the adverse effects associated with intubation
and mechanical ventilation, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and trauma to the …

Non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory (NHFOV) and percussive (NHFPV) ventilation
represent two non-conventional techniques that may be useful in selected neonatal patients …

Nasal high-frequency oscillation ventilation (nHFOV) is a non-invasive ventilation mode that
applies an oscillatory pressure waveform to the airways using a nasal interface. nHFOV has …
