Feasibility and Effect of Physiological-Based CPAP in Preterm Infants at Birth

Feasibility and Effect of Physiological-Based CPAP in Preterm Infants at Birth

Background: Preterm infants are commonly supported with 5–8 cmH2O CPAP. However, animal studies demonstrate that high initial CPAP levels (12–15 cmH2O) which are then reduced (termed physiological based (PB)-CPAP), improve lung aeration without adversely affecting cardiovascular function. We investi...
