RESPIRATORY FAILURE, SECONDARY
These results suggest that NIPPV and NHFOV are essentially similar, and better than NCPAP, in terms of reintubation and duration of IMV in extremely preterm neonates and those with more severe respiratory failure.This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial examines whether noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) is better than nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in reducing the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in extremely preterm infants and those with severe respiratory failure.
