Comparison of NIV-NAVA and NCPAP in facilitating extubation for very preterm infants
Various types of noninvasive respiratory modalities that lead to successful extubation in preterm infants have been explored. The study aimed to compare noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for the postextubation stabilization of … Continue reading
