Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure to Prevent Primary Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Extremely Low Birthweight Infants

Reducing the risk of primary noninvasive ventilation failure in extremely low birthweight infants is linked to reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In a secondary analysis of randomized data, we identified that failure rates and time to failure were similar for nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation vs nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
