Research advances in neonatal nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation / 中国当代儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) can augment nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) by delivering intermittent positive pressure ventilation in a noninvasive way and can provide a new option for neonatal noninvasive respiratory support. NIPPV has an advantage over nCPAP in primary and post-extubation respiratory support. Moreover, it can reduce severe apnea of prematurity. Synchronized NIPPV has promising application prospects. This review article summarizes the advances in the application of NIPPV in neonatal respiratory support to promote the understanding and standardization of this technique.
