Non-invasive ventilation (NIV), including CPAP and NIPPV, offers improved respiratory support for extremely premature infants. This review examines evidence for NIV use to reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) risk in these vulnerable neonates.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal Intensive Care
- Respiratory Medicine
- Pediatric Pulmonology
Background:
- Extremely premature infants (<28 weeks) and
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current evidence on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for preterm infants.
- To evaluate the efficacy of CPAP and NIPPV in reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of recent meta-analyses on NIV in preterm infants.
- Analysis of data regarding primary post-birth support and post-extubation use of NIV.
Main Results:
- Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) methods like CPAP and NIPPV are evolving for preterm infant respiratory support.
- NIV can limit invasiveness and complications associated with mechanical ventilation.
Conclusions:
- Optimizing NIV strategies is crucial for managing respiratory support in preterm infants at high risk for BPD.
- Further research is needed to address remaining questions regarding NIV use in this population.

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
