Background High flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) are small, thin, tapered binasal tubes that
deliver oxygen or blended oxygen/air at gas flows of more than 1 L/min. HFNC are …

Large seasonal outbreaks of bronchiolitis put pressure on healthcare systems and
particularly on intensive care units (ICUs). ICU admission is necessary to provide respiratory …

Background Viral bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in children during the
first 12 months of life. There is evidence to support the use of noninvasive ventilation in …

Abstract Nasal High Flow (HF) is a mode of 'non-invasive'respiratory support for preterm
infants, with several potential modes of action, including generation of distending airway …

The prolonged use of an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation may cause upper
airway damage and predispose the neonate to the development of chronic lung disease …

Background Significant cardiorespiratory events can be triggered in preterm infants as part
of laryngeal chemoreflexes (LCRs) and esophageal reflexes (ERs). We previously showed …

Preterm infants frequently present with respiratory insufficiency requiring respiratory
assistance. Invasive mechanical ventilation has been associated with several short and long …

Objective To determine whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared with
heated humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) in infants with evolving or established …

Objective To determine if the electrical activity of the diaphragm, as measure of neural
respiratory drive and breathing effort, changes over time in preterm infants transitioned from …

Preterm infants often experience breathing instability and a hampered lung function.
Therefore, these infants receive cardiorespiratory monitoring and respiratory support …
