Use of high noninvasive respiratory support pressures in preterm neonates: a single-center experience

PURPOSE: To describe the incidence, indications and clinical outcomes following high pressures on noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) in preterm neonates. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of all neonates with BW <1.500 g admitted from July 2012 to June 2014 and placed on high noninvasive respiratory support (NRS), defined as mean airway pressure ≥10 cm H₂O for at least 12 continuous hours using nasal continuous positive airway …
