  • Title: Influence of three nasal continuous positive airway pressure devices on breathing pattern in preterm infants.
    Author: Boumecid H, Rakza T, Abazine A, Klosowski S, Matran R, Storme L.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed; 2007 Jul; 92(4):F298-300. PubMed ID: 17088340.
    Abstract:
    The pattern of breathing was studied in 13 premature newborns treated by variable-flow Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP), conventional NCPAP, and nasal cannulae. Compared to constant-flow NCPAP and nasal cannulae, the variable-flow NCPAP increases tidal volume and improves thoraco-abdominal synchrony, suggesting that variable-flow NCPAP provides more effective ventilatory support than conventional NCPAP or nasal cannulae.
