• Resumen

  • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) are modes of noninvasive respiratory support used in neonatal practice. These modes of noninvasive respiratory support may obviate mechanical ventilation, prevent extubation failure, and reduce the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Although the physiologic bases of CPAP and HHFNC are well delineated, and their modes and practical application consistent, those of NIPPV are unproven and varied. Available evidence suggests that NIPPV is superior to CPAP as a primary and postextubation respiratory support in preterm infants.
