Preterm birth rates are rising, and many preterm infants have breathing difficulty after birth.
Treatments for infants with prolonged breathing difficulty include oxygen therapy, exogenous …

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

As management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) advances, clinicians must
continually revise their current practice. We report the fourth update of “European Guidelines …

Background Assisted ventilation for extremely preterm infants (< 28 weeks of gestation) has
become less invasive, but it is unclear whether such developments in care are associated …

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 …

Majority of extremely preterm infants require positive pressure ventilatory support at the time
