A Comparison of Non-invasive Ventilation Methods Used to Prevent Endotracheal Intubation Due to Apnea in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating NCPAP as mode for apnea prevention and NIPPV as rescue mode for apnea prevention for Apnea of Prematurity. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduces the need for endotracheal intubation in very low birth weight infants with persistent apnea who fail nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP).

Timeline
Interventions
With recurrence of apneic events, infants on NCPAP will have changes made in NCPAP settings per the clinical team's discretion in attempt to prevent future apneic events. If apneic events persist despite NCPAP adjustments, clinicians may intubate based on clinical judgment.
With recurrence of apneic events, infants will be placed on NIPPV with settings and adjustments per the clinical team's discretion. If apneic events persist despite NIPPV placement and setting adjustments, clinicians may intubate based on clinical judgment.
