Background Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a strategy to maintain
positive airway pressure throughout the respiratory cycle through the application of a bias …

Background Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a useful method for
providing respiratory support after extubation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation …

The concerted interaction of genetic and environmental factors acts on the preterm human
immature lung with inflammation being the common denominator leading to the …

Objectives To compare the efficacy of different noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) modes
for primary respiratory support of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) …

Majority of extremely preterm infants require positive pressure ventilatory support at the time
of delivery or during the transitional period. Most of these infants present with respiratory …

Background Multiple noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) modalities are used for
postextubation support in preterm neonates. Seven NRS modalities were compared …

Background Nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) has been described as
supplying the combined advantages of nasal CPAP (NCPAP) and HFOV. However, its effect …

Objective To compare the effects of noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-
NAVA) to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in achieving successful …

In the past, preterm infants with signs of moderate or severe respiratory distress were
intubated and mechanically ventilated. This invasive approach resulted in inflammation of …

In current neonatal practice, a consensus now exists that avoidance or limitation of invasive
positive pressure ventilation in preterm infants when possible is of benefit. 1 Clinical trials on …
