Randomized Controlled TrialUnsynchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure in preterm infants after extubation.
To determine the effect of unsynchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation compared to continuous positive airway pressure in preterm infants after extubation. ⋯ NIPPV (although non-synchronized and delivered by single nasal prong) had a better effect than NCPAP after extubation of preterm infants on mechanical ventilation in respect to reducing the prevalence of post-extubation atelectasis, re-intubation and also death.
