Comparison of Effort of Breathing for Infants on Nasal Modes of Respiratory Support

Objective To directly compare effort of breathing between high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), nasal intermittent mechanical ventilation (NIMV), and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP). Study design This was a single center prospective cross-over study for patients 60%), PRP on NIMV was low...

Description
Summary:Objective To directly compare effort of breathing between high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), nasal intermittent mechanical ventilation (NIMV), and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP). Study design This was a single center prospective cross-over study for patients 60%), PRP on NIMV was lower than on HFNC. Conclusions For infants, effort of breathing is similar on HFNC, NIMV, and NCPAP after extubation, regardless of flow rate or inspiratory pressure. We speculate that bi-level NIMV may be superior if high levels of synchrony can be achieved.
