SYNCHRONIZED NASAL INTERMITTENT POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION AND NEONATAL OUTCOMES: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

摘要

BackgroundCurrent literature suggests that use of synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (SNIPPV), following extubation, reduces the rate of reintubation compared to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP). However, there is limited information available on the outcomes of infants managed with SNIPPV.
