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 …

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

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

Recent advances in neonatology have led to the increased survival of extremely low-birth
weight infants. However, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not …

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 …

Deleterious consequences of the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) with
invasive ventilation have led to more in-depth investigation of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) …

Noninvasive respiratory support has gained significant popularity in neonatal units because
of its potential to reduce lung injury associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. To …

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 …

Background: Bi-level noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been used in respiratory distress
syndrome (RDS) as primary treatment, post-extubation, and to treat apnea. This review …
