Objective To evaluate the incidence and severity of nasal trauma secondary to nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in neonates. Design Prospective …

Objective Binasal prongs are the most commonly used interface for the delivery of nasal
positive airway pressure (CPAP) to preterm infants. However, they are associated with …

Pediatric patients, especially neonates and infants, are vulnerable to pressure injury
formation. Clinicians are steadily realizing that, compared with adults and other specific …

Non-invasive techniques of respiratory support were developed in order to reduce the
adverse effects associated with ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Short bi-nasal prongs …
