Article Synopsis
- The study compared noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) in treating very premature infants and those with extremely low birth weight.
- A significant transition to invasive ventilation was noted, especially among infants with a gestational age under 25 weeks or birth weight under 1000 grams, with NIPPV showing better results.
- NIPPV resulted in higher survival rates, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays compared to IPPV, highlighting its potential benefits for improving outcomes in these vulnerable infants.
Background: Despite improvements made in neonatal care, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is still the most common respiratory disease in preterm infants. The relationship between the blood contents of vitamin D/E in premature infants and BPD is still controversial.
Methods: Preterm infants were recruited as the research subjects.
