N2 - Meta-analysis of randomised trials has demonstrated that nCPAP used post extubation does reduce the need for increased respiratory support, but not reintubation. Over the last decade, increasing numbers of clinicians have used early nCPAP as an alternative to intubation and ventilation. Reduced rates of mechanical ventilation and chronic lung disease (CLD) have been associated with this practice, but comparison has often been made with historical controls. A variety of other ventilatory modes have been delivered via nasal prongs with short term beneficial effects, often in anecdotal series. Randomised trials with long term outcomes are required to determine the role of nasal ventilatory modes in the management of neonates with respiratory distress.
