Zusammenfassung

Aims: Early use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) may be beneficial in reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but how many preterm infants can be cared for without any mechanical ventilation? Participants and Methods: Retrospective study to evaluate the feasibility of initiating nCPAP in the delivery room and continuing this therapy without intubation [period: 2007 to 2008]. Data were collected on our very low birth weight (VLBW) infants of less then 1500 grams. They had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neonatal brain at term (37 to 42 weeks). Results: 116 VLBW infants (range: 22+3…
