Comparison of clinical efficacy of two noninvasive respiratory support therapies for respiratory distress syndrome in very low birth weight preterm infants
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV) and heated humidified high flow nasal cannula(HHHFNC) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) among very low birth weight(VLBW) preterm infants. Methods A total of 89 very low birth weight premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) who were randomly administered with NIPPV(n=46) and HHHFNC(n=43) as an initial respiratory support.
