The use of nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV) shows no significant improvement over nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as a noninvasive ventilation strategy for ...

A large multicenter study has found that current non-invasive techniques for respiratory support are less effective than widely assumed, in reducing the incidence of severe lung injury in very ...

To reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely-low-birth-weight infants, clinicians attempt to minimize the use of endotracheal intubation by the early introduction of less invasive ...

A neonatologist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is the senior author of a large new study that found that current non-invasive techniques for respiratory support are less effective than ...

Are there any weaning protocols for patients (with tracheostomies) who have come off mechanical (intermittent positive-pressure ventilation; IPPV) ventilation, but are still requiring almost ...

A sustained inflation (SI) facilitates lung aeration, but the most effective pressure and duration are unknown. We investigated the effect of gestational age (GA) and airway liquid volume on the ...
