Nasal flow-synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation to facilitate weaning in very low-birthweight infants: Unmasked randomized controlled trial

Background: Nasal flow‐synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NFSIPPV) is a new non‐invasive ventilatory mode that delivers synchronized mechanical breaths through the nasal prongs. An unmasked, prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of NFSIPP...

Description
Summary:Background: Nasal flow‐synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NFSIPPV) is a new non‐invasive ventilatory mode that delivers synchronized mechanical breaths through the nasal prongs. An unmasked, prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of NFSIPPV and conventional nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in increasing the likelihood for successful extubation in very low‐birthweight infants. Methods: Consecutive infants who weighed
