Noninvasive Ventilation for Preterm Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating noninvasive high-frequency ventilation (nHFOV) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) for Preterm Infants. Completed, enrolled 340 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators compared advantages and disadvantages of two forms of noninvasive respiratory support -noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) -as a primary mode of ventilation in premature infants with RDS.

Interventions
NHFOV will be provided by a high frequency ventilator (CNO, Medin, Germany or SLE 5000, UK). NHFOV will be provided via binasal prongs.
Infants assigned to the NCPAP group will be started on a pressure of 6 cmH2O (range: 6-8 cmH2O) by CPAP system (CNO Medin, Germany, Carefusion, USA)
