Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduced the risk of requiring invasive ventilation and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia by nearly half compared with nasal continuous ...

Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

High-flow nasal cannula therapy is as safe and efficacious as conventional modes of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in preterm infants, according to a meta-analysis published online August 17 and in the ...

Studies have shown that noninvasive respiratory support at birth — rather than immediate intubation and delivery of lung surfactant — improves short-term respiratory outcomes in premature infants born ...

Many premature infants need mechanical ventilation to breathe. However, prolonged ventilation can lead to problems like respiratory diseases or ventilation-induced injury. Jonas Naumann and Mareike ...
