Randomized Controlled TrialNasal continuous positive airway pressure versus nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation within the minimally invasive surfactant therapy approach in preterm infants: a randomised controlled trial.
To compare the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as the initial respiratory support within the minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) approach in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. ⋯ In infants born at 26-32 weeks' gestation, NIPPV reduced the need for invasive ventilation and the surfactant requirement within the MIST approach.

Randomized Controlled TrialRandomised comparison of two neonatal resuscitation bags in manikin ventilation.
To compare ventilation properties and user preference of a new upright neonatal resuscitator developed for easier cleaning, reduced complexity, and possibly improved ventilation properties, with the standard Laerdal neonatal resuscitator. ⋯ Expiratory volumes were higher, mask leakage lower, and mean airway pressure slightly higher with upright versus standard resuscitator when ventilating a manikin. The majority of students preferred the upright resuscitator.
