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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
