RESPIRATORY FAILURE
In this study, neonates born extremely preterm or with more severe respiratory failure had fewer reintubations, fewer early reintubations, and shorter IMV duration if they received NIPPV or NHFOV, rather than NCPAP, from extubation until NICU discharge. NHFOV may also be associated with less moderate-to-severe BPD than NCPAP. NIPPV and NHFOV are as safe as NCPAP. These findings are similar to those of the whole NASONE population and help tailor respiratory support during NICU stay.
