Effectiveness of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure in preterm infants after less invasive surfactant administratio

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Forty one received nIPPV as an initial RS. If nIPPV failed, surfactant administration was given with the LISA approach and patients continued on nIPPV. This group was compared with a historical cohort; Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation; nasal continuous positive airway pressure; respiratory distress syndrome; preterm infant; less invasive surfactant administration
