Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Provide evidence to allow clinicians to choose the most effective mode of NIRS

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Allow standardisation of NIRS equipment and policies across neonatal care networks<br>2. Optimise work of breathing allowing infants to thrive and wean off NIRS more rapidly<br>3. Potentially reduce incidence and/or severity of neonatal chronic lung disease, with consequent savings in health care in early life (e.g., home oxygen)<br>4. Provide information to guide clinicians and managers in purchasing cost-effective equipment<br>5. Reduce cot days on IPPV allowing more efficient use of resources<br>6. Reduce likelihood of infant having to be reintubated to receive IPPV
