Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Preterm; Ventilator Lung; Newborn

• Registration Number: NCT06550219
• Lead Sponsor: Alexandria University

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of non-invasive ventilation (nIPPV)

, (nCPAP), and nasal high flow cannula (NHFC) as a primary mode of ventilation in preterm neonates \<37 gestational week with moderate to severe RD using LUS as regard: I. Primary outcomes: Duration of non-Invasive ventilation. II. Secondary outcomes: Evaluation LUS over the 1 st 7 days of life or weaning from ventilation. Need for intubation and invasive ventilation. Duration of respiratory support. Need for surfactant. Oxygen saturation index and oxygen index. Broncho-pulmonary dysplasia; grade. Duration of hospital stay
