Observational Crossover Study Comparing Oxygenation and Ventilation Using SiPAP Versus CPAP in LBW Infants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Investigation of effects of SiPAP versus NCPAP on oxygenation and ventilation in LBW infants with respiratory distress. Our hypothesis is that the LBW infants will achieve the same level of oxygenation and improved ventilation when being treated with SiPAP as compared to NCPAP.
