background: nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nippv) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. the present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of nippv and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (ncpap) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (rds)....

conclusions: in the present study, applying positive airway pressure methods (cpap or imv) during cpb was associated with better postoperative abg measurements and (a-a) do2. results: the demographic data were similar in between three groups. graft number, pump time and preoperative abgs were not significantly different. postoperative pao2 were significantly higher in the cpap and imv groups an...

background: nasal continuous positive airway pressure (ncpap) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (rds). using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive ncpap. this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...

BACKGROUND Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is frequently used in preterm infants. However, there is no consensus on when and how to wean them from NCPAP. DATA SOURCES Based on recent publications, we have reviewed the criteria of readiness-to-wean and factors affecting weaning success. A special focus is placed on the methods of weaning from NCPAP in preterm infants. RESUL...

Despite the acknowledged clinical usefulness of nasal CPAP, uncertainties regarding aspects of its application remain. Clinical indications for the application of nasal CPAP vary greatly between institutions. Furthermore, defining the optimal nasal CPAP system is complicated by the multiplicity of nasal CPAP devices and techniques available to the clinician. This review aims to identify what we...

background:respiratory distress syndrome is the most common respiratory disease in premature neonate and the most important cause of death among them. we aimed to investigate factors to predict successful or failure of insure method as a therapeutic method of rds.methods:in a cohort study,45 neonates with diagnosed rds and birth weight lower than 1500g were included and they underwent insure fo...

OBJECTIVES To assess and compare the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), inspiratory pressure support (PSV), and bilevel positive airway pressure (biPAP) on ventilatory parameters and inspiratory work (WOB) in normocapnic and hypercapnic patients with stable COPD. METHODS While administering nasal pressure support to 10 normocapnic and 10 hypercapnic patients with COP...
