Abstract

Authors' conclusions: among premature infants, nasal continuous positive airway pressure provided with nasal mask is more effective in preventing intubation and mechanical ventilation within 72 hours of initiating the support compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure provided with binasal prongs.

Reviewers' commentary: nasal continuous positive airway pressure applied with nasal mask reduces the incidence of endotracheal intubation/mechanical ventilation within first 72 hours, reduces the occurrence of nasal trauma and surfactant treatment in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome more effectively than nasal continuous positive airway pressure applied with binasal prongs.
