Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure to Prevent Primary Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Extremely Low Birthweight Infants

J Pediatr. 2020 Jan:216:218-221.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2019.08.064. Epub 2019 Oct 8.

Abstract

Reducing the risk of primary noninvasive ventilation failure in extremely low birthweight infants is linked to reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In a secondary analysis of randomized data, we identified that failure rates and time to failure were similar for nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation vs nasal continuous positive airway pressure.

Keywords: bronchopulmonary dysplasia; noninvasive ventilation failure etiology; time to noninvasive ventilation failure.
