BACKGROUND: There is currently no clear evidence that nasal-biphasic positive airway
pressure (n-BiPAP) confers any advantage over nasal-continuous positive airway pressure …

Aim To investigate whether Bi‐level positive airway pressure (BiPAP), compared with nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), is a more effective therapeutic strategy in …

Background Respiratory distress syndrome remains a significant problem among premature
infants. Mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal tube remains the mainstay of …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that kinetic nasal CPAP as generated by the Infant Flow
System (IF) is superior to conventional nasaopharyngeal CPAP (NP) in facilitating …

Background The use of mechanical ventilation is associated with lung injury in preterm
infants and therefore the goal is to avoid or minimize its use. To date there is very little …

Background Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) has recently been used in preterm
infants with respiratory distress as an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway …

Objective. To determine whether the use of the Infant Flow continuous positive airway
pressure (IF CPAP) system reduces the rate of extubation failure among extremely low birth …

We conducted a prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine whether extubation of
very low birth weight infants was facilitated by the use of nasopharyngeal continuous …

Objectives: To determine whether management with nasal continuous positive airway
pressure (NCPAP) in preterm infants having their endotracheal tube removed following a …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP)
given with nasal prongs compared with nasal mask reduces the rate of intubation and …
