Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The effects of apnea/coffeine and dopram treatment/surfactant<br /><br>administration/positional changes on functional residual volume, tidal volume<br /><br>and ventilation distribution.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>During the study, all patients will be monitored according to clinical protcol.<br /><br>Of the available parameters, the following will be registered: heart rate,<br /><br>breathing frequency, transcutaneous oxygen and carbondioxide tension, current<br /><br>non-invasive respiratory support pressure and fractional oxygen concentration<br /><br>(FiO2). Furthermore, patient caracteristics will be obtained like gestational<br /><br>age, birth weight, age and diagnosis.</p><br>
