Bubble versus other continuous positive airway pressure forms: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Use of bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has generated considerable interest in neonatal care, but its comparative effectiveness compared with other forms of CPAP, especially in developed countries, remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and meta-analyse short-term clinical outcomes among preterm infants treated with bubble CPAP vs all other forms of CPAP.
