Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of delivered distending pressures in the oropharynx in preterm infant on bubble CPAP and on three different nasal interfaces.
To compare the level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by three different CPAP delivery interfaces (RAM cannula system, Hudson prongs, and nasal mask) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress. ⋯ None of the nasal interfaces delivered oropharyngeal pressure equivalent to the set CPAP. However, nasal mask delivered oropharyngeal pressure best matched to the set CPAP.
