This prospective study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy of nasal continuous
positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in a group of extremely small infants denied access to a …

Various commercial and home-made continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) systems
are described in this article. CPAP may be delivered via a range of device-patient interfaces; …

Background The factors influencing the severity of apnea‐related hypoxemia and
bradycardia are incompletely characterized, especially in infants receiving noninvasive …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a form of respiratory support provided primarily to preterm
born infants in an effort to avoid any endotracheal intubation or as a weaning step following …

Background Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is frequently used in
preterm infants. However, there is no consensus on when and how to wean them from …
