The efficacy of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in treating apnea of prematurity was evaluated. Apneic preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive either NIPPV or continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for 4 hr when they failed to respond to conservative therapy.

β¦ Synopsis
Intermittent positive pressure ventilation delivered non-invasively through a well-fitting nasal mask has been used to control nocturnal hypoventilation in three patients with severe, combined cardiorespiratory and skeletal disease. The advantages of this approach to domiciliary ventilation are described and the requirements of the ventilator are defined.
