Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) and synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (sNIPPV) were the new modes of noninvasive ventilation. This study's aim was to clarify as to which of the nHFOV and sNIPPV modes was superior in preventing postextubation failure or reintubation in neonates. STUDY DESIGN An open-label parallel randomized study was performed. Extubated preterm and term neonates were randomly allocated into nHFOV or sNIPPV modes; the reintubation rate was evaluated within 7 days after extubation between the two modes. Subgroup analyses were performed for preterm (gestational age <37 weeks) and very preterm (gestational age <32 weeks) neonates. The sample calculation was 1,050 neonates; however, this trial was stopped early as enrollment was too slow. RESULTS From July 2020 to June 2022, 202 neonates were assessed for eligibility and 69 neonates were excluded. Finally, 133 neonates were randomly allocated to the study interventions (nHFOV = 67, sNIPPV = 66). The median gestational age and birth weight were 33 (30-37) weeks and 1,910 (1,355-2,836) g, respectively. The reintubation rate within 7 days did not significantly differ between the groups (nHFOV [5/67, 7%] vs. sNIPPV [4/66, 6%]); risk difference [95% confidence interval] = 0.01 [-0.08 to 0.11]; p = 0.99), including preterm (nHFOV [4/55, 7%] vs. sNIPPV [3/44, 7%]) and very preterm (nHFOV [3/25, 12%] vs. sNIPPV [3/25, 12%]) neonates. CONCLUSION After neonatal extubation, there was no significant difference of reintubation rates within 7 days between nHFOV and sNIPPV. This trial has been registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov database ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04323397 ). First posted registration on March 26, 2020. KEY POINTS · There was no significant difference of reintubation rates between nHFOV and sNIPPV.. · During nHFOV support, one neonate developed pneumomediastinum.. · During sNIPPV support, one neonate developed pulmonary hemorrhage..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) and synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (sNIPPV) yield a lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) after extubation than nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Our aim was to clarify which of the two was superior. STUDY DESIGN We performed a crossover randomized study to evaluate pCO2 level among 102 participants from July 2020 to June 2022. Intubated preterm and term neonates with arterial lines were randomly allocated to nHFOV-sNIPPV or sNIPPV-nHFOV sequences; their pCO2 levels were measured after 2 hours in each mode. Subgroup analyses were performed for preterm (gestational age <37 weeks) and very preterm (gestational age <32 weeks) neonates. RESULTS The mean gestational age (nHFOV-sNIPPV, 32.8 vs. sNIPPV-nHFOV, 33.5 weeks) and median birth weight (1,850 vs. 1,930 g) did not differ between the sequences. The mean ± standard deviation pCO2 level after nHFOV (38.7 ± 8.8 mm Hg) was significantly higher than that after sNIPPV (36.8 ± 10.2 mm Hg; mean difference: 1.9 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval: 0.3-3.4 mm Hg; treatment effect [p = 0.007] but no sequence [p = 0.92], period [p = 0.53], or carryover [p = 0.94] effects). However, the difference in pCO2 level between the sequences was not statistically significant in the subgroup analyses of preterm and very preterm neonates. CONCLUSION After neonatal extubation, the sNIPPV mode was associated with a lower pCO2 level than the nHFOV mode with no significant difference in preterm and very preterm neonates. KEY POINTS · Full noninvasive ventilation support is suggested in neonatal ventilation.. · pCO2 level in sNIPPV was lower than in nHFOV.. · No differences in pCO2 levels were observed in either preterm or very preterm neonates..

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a significant challenge in neonatal care. Prenatal inflammation and neonatal sepsis contribute to the multifactorial nature of BPD. A potential association between empirical antibiotic therapy and BPD risk has been proposed due to microbiota dysbiosis in very low birth weight premature infants. METHODS A single centered retrospective cohort study of preterm infants (24-32 weeks gestation) from 2014 to 2021. The study compared groups that received empirical antibiotics in the first days of life and those that did not receive any antibiotic in the first days of life. The primary outcomes studied were BPD, death, and the combined outcome of BPD/death. Statistical analysis employed t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, and logistic regression. RESULTS Of 454 preterm infants, 61.5% received antibiotics. This group had lower gestational age, birth weight, and Apgar scores. Antibiotic use was associated with higher incidence of BPD (35.5% vs. 10.3%), death (21.5% vs. 8.6%), and combined outcomes (54.5% vs. 18.3%). In multivariate analysis, antibiotic use independently associated with BPD (OR 2.58, p < 0.001) and combined outcome BPD/death (OR 2.06, p < 0.02). Antenatal corticosteroids provided protection against BPD, but not mortality. CONCLUSION This study suggests an association between early empirical antibiotic use and BPD in preterm infants, emphasizing the need for judicious antibiotic practices in neonatal care.

Abstract
Respiratory insufficiency is almost ubiquitous in infants born preterm, with its incidence increasing with lower gestational age. A wide range of respiratory support management strategies are available for these infants, separable into non-invasive and invasive forms of respiratory support. Here we review the history and evolution of respiratory care for the preterm infant and then examine evidence that has emerged to support a non-invasive approach to respiratory management where able. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the non-invasive respiratory support mode currently with the most evidence for benefit. CPAP can be delivered safely and effectively and can commence in the delivery room. Particularly in early life, time spent on non-invasive respiratory support, avoiding intubation and mechanical ventilation, affords benefit for the preterm infant by virtue of a lessening of lung injury and hence a reduction in incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In recent years, enthusiasm for application of non-invasive support has been further bolstered by new techniques for administration of exogenous surfactant. Methods of less invasive surfactant delivery, in particular with a thin catheter, have allowed neonatologists to administer surfactant without resort to endotracheal intubation. The benefits of this approach appear to be sustained, even in those infants subsequently requiring mechanical ventilation. This cements the notion that any reduction in exposure to mechanical ventilation leads to alleviation of injury to the vulnerable preterm lung, with a long-lasting effect. Despite the clear advantages of non-invasive respiratory support, there will continue to be a role for intubation and mechanical ventilation in some preterm infants, particularly for those born <25 weeks' gestation. It is currently unclear what role early non-invasive support has in this special population, with more studies required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health problems in neonates with gestational age (GA) ≥ 32 weeks remain a major medical concern. Respiratory distress (RD) is one of the common reasons for admission of neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) represents a crucial approach to treat RD, and currently, the most used NIV modes in neonatal intensive care unit include high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Although extensive evidence supports the use of NIPPV in neonates with a GA < 32 weeks, limited data exist regarding its effectiveness in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of HFNC, CPAP, and NIPPV as primary NIV in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks who experience RD. METHODS This trial is designed as an assessor-blinded, three-arm, multi-center, parallel, randomized controlled trial, conducted in neonates ≥ 32 weeks' GA requiring primary NIV in the first 24 h of life. The neonates will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: HFNC, CPAP or NIPPV group. The effectiveness, safety and comfort of NIV will be evaluated. The primary outcome is the occurrence of treatment failure within 72 h after enrollment. Secondary outcomes include death before discharge, surfactant treatment within 72 h after randomization, duration of both noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, duration of oxygen therapy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, time to achieve full enteral nutrition, necrotizing enterocolitis, duration of admission, cost of admission, air leak syndrome, nasal trauma, and comfort score. DISCUSSION Currently, there is a paucity of data regarding the utilization of NIPPV in neonates with GA ≥ 32 weeks. This study will provide clinical evidence for the development of respiratory treatment strategies in neonates at GA ≥ 32 weeks with RD, with the aim of minimizing the incidence of tracheal intubation and reducing the complications associated with NIV.

Abstract
In the age of surfactant and antenatal steroids, neonatal care has improved outcomes of preterm infants dramatically. Since the early 2000's neonatologists have strived to decrease bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by decreasing ventilator-associated lung injury and utilizing many novel modes of non-invasive respiratory support. After the initial success with nasal continuous positive airway pressure, it was established that discontinuing invasive ventilation early in favor of non-invasive respiratory support is the most effective way to reduce the incidence of BPD. In this review, we discuss the management of the preterm lung from the time of delivery, through the phases of respiratory distress syndrome (early BPD) and then evolving BPD. The goal remains to optimize respiratory support of the preterm lung while minimizing ventilator-associated lung injury and oxygen toxicity. A multidisciplinary approach involving the medical team and family is quintessential in reaching this goal and involves adequate respiratory support, optimizing nutrition and fluid balance as well as preventing infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a useful method for providing respiratory support after extubation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) can augment NCPAP by delivering ventilator breaths via nasal prongs. OBJECTIVES Primary objective To determine the effects of management with NIPPV versus NCPAP on the need for additional ventilatory support in preterm infants whose endotracheal tube was removed after a period of intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Secondary objectives To compare rates of abdominal distension, gastrointestinal perforation, necrotising enterocolitis, chronic lung disease, pulmonary air leak, mortality, duration of hospitalisation, rates of apnoea and neurodevelopmental status at 18 to 24 months for NIPPV and NCPAP. To compare the effect of NIPPV versus NCPAP delivered via ventilators versus bilevel devices, and assess the effects of the synchronisation of ventilation, and the strength of interventions in different economic settings. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was January 2023. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised and quasi-randomised trials of ventilated preterm infants (less than 37 weeks' gestational age (GA)) ready for extubation to non-invasive respiratory support. Interventions were NIPPV and NCPAP. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcome was 1. respiratory failure. Our secondary outcomes were 2. endotracheal reintubation, 3. abdominal distension, 4. gastrointestinal perforation, 5. necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), 6. chronic lung disease, 7. pulmonary air leak, 8. mortality, 9. hospitalisation, 10. apnoea and bradycardia, and 11. neurodevelopmental status. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included 19 trials (2738 infants). Compared to NCPAP, NIPPV likely reduces the risk of respiratory failure postextubation (risk ratio (RR) 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67 to 0.84; number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome (NNTB) 11, 95% CI 8 to 17; 19 trials, 2738 infants; moderate-certainty evidence) and endotracheal reintubation (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.87; NNTB 12, 95% CI 9 to 25; 17 trials, 2608 infants, moderate-certainty evidence), and may reduce pulmonary air leaks (RR 0.57, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.87; NNTB 50, 95% CI 33 to infinite; 13 trials, 2404 infants; low-certainty evidence). NIPPV likely results in little to no difference in gastrointestinal perforation (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.38; 8 trials, 1478 infants, low-certainty evidence), NEC (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.15; 10 trials, 2069 infants; moderate-certainty evidence), chronic lung disease defined as oxygen requirement at 36 weeks (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.05; 9 trials, 2001 infants; moderate-certainty evidence) and mortality prior to discharge (RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.07; 11 trials, 2258 infants; low-certainty evidence). When considering subgroup analysis, ventilator-generated NIPPV likely reduces respiratory failure postextubation (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.62; 1057 infants; I2 = 47%; moderate-certainty evidence), while bilevel devices (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.17; 716 infants) or a mix of both ventilator-generated and bilevel devices likely results in little to no difference (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.02; 965 infants). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS NIPPV likely reduces the incidence of extubation failure and the need for reintubation within 48 hours to one-week postextubation more effectively than NCPAP in very preterm infants (GA 28 weeks and above). There is a paucity of data for infants less than 28 weeks' gestation. Pulmonary air leaks were also potentially reduced in the NIPPV group. However, it has no effect on other clinically relevant outcomes such as gastrointestinal perforation, NEC, chronic lung disease or mortality. Ventilator-generated NIPPV appears superior to bilevel devices in reducing the incidence of respiratory failure postextubation failure and need for reintubation. Synchronisation used to deliver NIPPV may be important; however, data are insufficient to support strong conclusions. Future trials should enrol a sufficient number of infants, particularly those less than 28 weeks' GA, to detect differences in death or chronic lung disease and should compare different categories of devices, establish the impact of synchronisation of NIPPV on safety and efficacy of the technique as well as the best combination of settings for NIPPV (rate, peak pressure and positive end-expiratory). Trials should strive to match the mean airway pressure between the intervention groups to allow a better comparison. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist needs further assessment with properly powered randomised trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a strategy to maintain positive airway pressure throughout the respiratory cycle through the application of a bias flow of respiratory gas to an apparatus attached to the nose. Early treatment with NCPAP is associated with decreased risk of mechanical ventilation exposure and might reduce chronic lung disease. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a form of noninvasive ventilation delivered through the same nasal interface during which patients are exposed to short inflations, along with background end-expiratory pressure. OBJECTIVES To examine the risks and benefits of early (within the first six hours after birth) NIPPV versus early NCPAP for preterm infants at risk of or with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Primary endpoints are respiratory failure and the need for intubated ventilatory support during the first week of life. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of mortality, chronic lung disease (CLD) (oxygen therapy at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age), pneumothorax, duration of respiratory support, duration of oxygen therapy, and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). SEARCH METHODS Searches were conducted in January 2023 in CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Dissertation Abstracts. The reference lists of related systematic reviews and of studies selected for inclusion were also searched. SELECTION CRITERIA We considered all randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials. Eligible studies compared NIPPV versus NCPAP treatment, starting within six hours after birth in preterm infants (< 37 weeks' gestational age (GA)). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We collected and analyzed data using the recommendations of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group. MAIN RESULTS We included 17 trials, enrolling 1958 infants in this review. NIPPV likely reduces the rate of respiratory failure (risk ratio (RR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54 to 0.78; risk difference (RD) -0.08, 95% CI -0.12 to -0.05; 17 RCTs, 1958 infants; moderate-certainty evidence) and needing endotracheal tube ventilation (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.56 to 0.81; RD -0.07, 95% CI -0.11 to -0.04; 16 RCTs; 1848 infants; moderate-certainty evidence) amongst infants treated with early NIPPV compared with early NCPAP. The meta-analysis demonstrated that NIPPV may reduce the risk of developing CLD compared to CPAP (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.92; 12 RCTs, 1284 infants; low-certainty evidence) slightly. NIPPV may result in little to no difference in mortality (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.10; 17 RCTs; 1958 infants; I2 of 0%; low-certainty evidence), the incidence of pneumothorax (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.41; 16 RCTs; 1674 infants; I2 of 0%; low-certainty evidence), and rates of severe IVH (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.79; 8 RCTs; 977 infants; I2 of 0%; low-certainty evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS When applied within six hours after birth, NIPPV likely reduces the risk of respiratory failure and the need for intubation and endotracheal tube ventilation in very preterm infants (GA 28 weeks and above) with respiratory distress syndrome or at risk for RDS. It may also decrease the rate of CLD slightly. However, most trials enrolled infants with a gestational age of approximately 28 to 32 weeks with an overall mean gestational age of around 30 weeks. As such, the results of this review may not apply to extremely preterm infants that are most at risk of needing mechanical ventilation or developing CLD. Additional studies are needed to confirm these results and to assess the safety of NIPPV compared with NCPAP alone in a larger patient population.

Abstract
Extremely preterm infants frequently require some form of respiratory assistance to facilitate the cardiopulmonary transition that occurs in the first hours of life. Current resuscitation guidelines identify as a primary determinant of overall newborn survival the establishment, immediately after birth, of adequate lung inflation and ventilation to ensure an adequate functional residual capacity. Any respiratory support provided, however, is an important contributing factor to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The risks correlated to invasive ventilatory techniques increase inversely with gestational age. Preterm infants are born at an early stage of lung development and are more susceptible to lung injury deriving from mechanical ventilation. Any approach aiming to reduce the global burden of preterm lung disease must implement lung-protective ventilation strategies that begin from the newborn’s first breaths in the delivery room. Neonatologists today must be able to manage both invasive and noninvasive forms of respiratory assistance to treat a spectrum of lung diseases ranging from acute to chronic conditions. We searched PubMed for articles on preterm infant respiratory assistance. Our narrative review provides an evidence-based overview on the respiratory management of preterm infants, especially in the acute phase of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, starting from the delivery room and continuing in the neonatal intensive care unit, including a section regarding exogenous surfactant therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate whether nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as rescue therapy after initial nasal continuous positive airway (NCPAP) failure reduces need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). DESIGN Retrospective cohort involving 156 preterm infants who failed initial NCPAP and were then submitted to NIPPV rescue therapy and classified into NIPPV success or failure, according to need for IMV. RESULT Of all infants included, 85 (54.5%) were successfully rescued with NIPPV while 71 (45.5%) failed. The NIPPV success group had significantly lower rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, peri/intraventricular hemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosus and greater survival without morbidities (all p ≤ 0.01). Infants who failed NIPPV had earlier initial NCPAP failure (p = 0.09). In final logistic regression model, birthweight ≤1000 g and need for surfactant remained significant factors for NIPPV failure. CONCLUSION NIPPV rescue therapy reduced the need for IMV in infants that failed NCPAP and was associated with better outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advances in neonatal care have made possible the increased survival of extremely preterm infants. Even though there is widespread recognition of the harmful effects of mechanical ventilation on the developing lung, its use has become imperative in the management of micro-/nano-preemies. There is an increased emphasis on the use of less-invasive approaches such as minimally invasive surfactant therapy and non-invasive ventilation that have been proven to result in improved outcomes. AREAS COVERED Here, we review the evidence-based practices surrounding the respiratory management of extremely preterm infants including delivery room interventions, invasive and non-invasive ventilation approaches, and specific ventilator strategies in respiratory distress syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Adjuvant relevant respiratory pharmacotherapies used in preterm neonates are also discussed. EXPERT OPINION Early use of non-invasive ventilation and use of less invasive surfactant administration are key strategies in the management of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants. Ventilator management in bronchopulmonary dysplasia must be tailored according to the individual phenotype. There is strong evidence to start caffeine early to improve respiratory outcomes, but evidence is lacking on the use of other pharmacological agents in preterm neonates, and an individualized approach has to be considered for their use.

Abstract
Neonates who are born preterm frequently have inadequate lung development to support independent breathing and will need respiratory support. The underdeveloped lung is also particularly susceptible to lung injury, especially during the first weeks of life. Consequently, respiratory support strategies in the early stages of premature lung disease focus on minimizing alveolar damage. As infants grow and lung disease progresses, it becomes necessary to shift respiratory support to a strategy targeting the often severe pulmonary heterogeneity and obstructive respiratory physiology. With appropriate management, time, and growth, even those children with the most extreme prematurity and severe lung disease can be expected to wean from respiratory support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the important role of MV in reducing mortality in very preterm infants, its use is often associated with complications. The study was aimed to determine the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), which significantly increased the risk of adverse outcomes in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. METHODS Data obtained from a prospectively created computer database were used in a retrospective cohort study. The database included information about 1980 VLBW infants <32 weeks of gestation who were cared for at the tertiary care center between January 2010 and December 2020. RESULTS Out of 1980 VLBW infants, 1086 (55%) were ventilated sometime during the hospital stay. 678 (62.43%) of ventilated babies survived until discharge. With ROC analysis, it was identified that MV duration of 60.5 hours had 79.3% sensitivity and 64.6% specificity for the prediction of BPD with the AUC of 0.784 (95% CI 0.733-0.827; p < 0.0001). The duration of MV above 60.5 hours was a significant risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (aOR 6.005, 95% CI 3.626-9.946), death (aOR 3.610, 95% CI 2.470-5.276), bronchopulmonary dysplasia/death (aOR 4.561, 95% CI 3.328-6.252), sepsis (aOR 1.634, 95% CI 1.168-2.286), necrotizing enterocolitis (aOR 2.606, 95% CI 1.364-4.980), and periventricular leukomalacia (aOR 2.191, 95% CI 1.241-3.867). CONCLUSIONS Duration of MV longer than 60.5 hours is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes in VLBW infants. It is essential to increase and optimize efforts to avoid MV or extubate very preterm infants as soon as possible, before reaching the established threshold duration of invasive respiratory support.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease caused by chronic bronchitis, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has great advantages in its treatment. Here, we explore the effect of NIPPV on prognosis and blood gas level in COPD patients complicated with respiratory failure (RF). A case control study was retrospectively analyzed, where 36 COPD patients with RF were regarded as the regular group to carry on the routine treatment, and 42 patients were assigned to the research group to carry out the routine treatment plus NIPPV. The monofactorial analysis showed that the overall response rate, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC in the research group were higher than those in the regular group, while partial pressure of arterial carbondioxide (PaCO2), posttreatment endotracheal intubation (EI), length of stay (LOS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scores in the research group were lower than those in the regular group. These results indicated that NIPPV can improve the curative effect of emergency medicine patients with RF, improve BG level and PF, reduce inflammation, and facilitate patient's recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacies of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are controversial. The reasons for controversy may be the selection bias of research objects and the small sample size. METHODS Literature retrieval was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Central, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and China Science Digital Library (CSDL) databases. Inclusion criteria: (I) literatures involving subjects who were newborns with RDS; (II) studies that had established both experimental and control groups; (III) the intervention measures of the experimental and control groups were NIPPV and NCPAP, respectively; (IV) the results included the incidence of intubation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), or mortality; and (V) randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The chi-square test was applied for heterogeneity test. Publication bias assessment was conducted by funnel plot and Egger's test. The revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for individually randomized, parallel group trials (RoB2.0) was used to evaluate the risk of bias of the included RCT research. RESULTS A total of 10 literatures were included for analysis, including 1,104 patients, 557 in the NIPPV group and 547 in the NCPAP group. Among the literatures, 2 literatures had low risk of bias, 2 literatures had high risk of bias, and the rest had uncertain risk of bias. Compared to NCPAP, NIPPV reduced the incidence of neonatal intubation in RDS [risk ratio (RR) =0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.46-0.71, Z=5.11, P<0.00001]. There was no statistically significant heterogeneity (P=0.13, I2=36%) or publication bias (P<0.05) among the studies. Compared with NCPAP, NIPPV reduced the incidence of BPD in RDS (RR =0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.91, Z=2.70, P=0.007). There was no statistically significant heterogeneity (P=0.10, I2=41%) or publication bias (P>0.05) among the studies. NIPPV reduced the neonatal mortality rate of RDS (RR =0.55, 95% CI: 0.31-0.97, Z=2.08, P=0.04). There was no statistically significant heterogeneity (P=0.20, I2=38%) or publication bias (P>0.05) among the studies. DISCUSSION Compared with NCPAP, NIPPV can reduce the incidence of intubation, BPD, and mortality. The conclusions need to be confirmed via high-quality RCTs.

Abstract
Objective Non-invasive respiratory support strategies are known to reduce the complications of invasive mechanical ventilation in preterm infants. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) are commonly used ones. The recent meta-analyses indicated that early NIPPV did appear to be superior to NCPAP for decreasing respiratory failure and the need for intubation among preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The aim of the study was to compare the short-term outcomes of extremely preterm infants who received NCPAP or NIPPV as an initial treatment of RDS. Methods This retrospective study included infants born before 29 weeks' gestation between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2021 who received non-invasive respiratory support with NCPAP or NIPPV. For every infant included in the cohort, only the first episode of NCPAP or NIPPV as initial treatment was evaluated. The primary outcome was the need for intubation within 72 h, and the secondary outcomes were the need for intubation within 7 days, administration of surfactant, prematurity-related morbidities, mortality, and death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Results During the study period, there were 116 inborn admissions of preterm infants born <29 weeks' gestation and 60 of them met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 31 (52%) infants received NCPAP while 29 (48%) infants received NIPPV at the first hours after birth. There were no differences in the baseline demographics between the groups (p > 0.05). Blood gas parameters (pH, pCO2, HCO3, and lactate) at admission were not different. The need for intubation within 72 h as the primary outcome was similar between NCPAP and NIPPV groups (35.5 vs. 34.5%, p = 0.935). The rates of surfactant requirement, need for intubation within 7 days, prematurity-related morbidities, mortality, and death/BPD were similar among the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation is non-inferior to NCPAP as an initial treatment in extremely preterm infants with RDS. Although the rate of intubation in the first week, mortality, and BPD did not differ between groups, additional studies are needed and the synchronization of NIPPV should be evaluated.

Abstract
Purpose: We examined the factors associated with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) failure in late preterm and term infants with respiratory distress after birth.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on late preterm and term infants with respiratory distress after birth from January 2015 to December 2020. The medical records of 132 infants, who received NIPPV as primary respiratory therapy before 6 hours of age, were retrospectively examined. We excluded five neonates who were either transferred to another hospital (n=2) or presented with congenital anomalies (n=3).Results:The remaining 127 neonates were divided into the NIPPV success group (n=82) and NIPPV failure group (n=45). NIPPV failure was associated with birth in a community hospital, the need for a surfactant, and a high maximum respiratory severity score (RSS ≥2.5) on the first day of life. In the subgroup analysis, NIPPV failure in late preterm infants was associated with a lower gestational age, birth in a community hospital, and an RSS ≥2.5 on the first day of life. In addition, NIPPV failure in term infants was associated with birth in a community hospital, the need for a surfactant, and an RSS ≥2.5 on the first day of life.Conclusion: Birth in a community hospital, the need for a surfactant, and an RSS ≥2.5 on the first day of life were significant factors associated with NIPPV failure in late preterm and term infants.

Abstract
Supportive care with mechanical ventilation continues to be an essential strategy for managing severe neonatal respiratory failure; however, it is well known to cause and accentuate neonatal lung injury. The pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is multifactorial and complex, resulting predominantly from interactions between ventilator-related factors and patient-related factors. Importantly, VILI is a significant risk factor for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common chronic respiratory morbidity of preterm infants that lacks specific therapies, causes life-long morbidities, and imposes psychosocial and economic burdens. Studies of older children and adults suggest that understanding how and why VILI occurs is essential to developing strategies for mitigating VILI and its consequences. This article reviews the preclinical and clinical evidence on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of VILI in neonates. We also highlight the evidence behind various lung-protective strategies to guide clinicians in preventing and attenuating VILI and, by extension, BPD in neonates. Further, we provide a snapshot of future directions that may help minimize neonatal VILI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is increasingly used as a mode of respiratory support for preterm infants, it remains unclear whether this technique translates into improved respiratory outcomes. We assessed the association between NIPPV use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-free survival in never intubated very preterm infants. METHODS This multicenter cohort study analyzed data from the Spanish Neonatal Network SEN1500 corresponding to preterm infants born at <32 weeks gestational age and <1,500 g and not intubated during first admission. The exposure of interest was use of NIPPV at any time and the main study outcome was survival without moderate-to-severe BPD. Analyses were performed both by patients and by units. Primary and secondary outcomes were compared using multilevel logistic-regression models. The standardized observed-to-expected (O/E) ratio was calculated to classify units by NIPPV utilization and outcome rates were compared among groups. RESULTS Of the 6,735 infants included, 1,776 (26.4%) received NIPPV during admission and 6,441 (95.6%) survived without moderate-to-severe BPD. After adjusting for confounding variables, NIPPV was not associated with survival without moderate-to-severe BPD (OR 0.84; 95%CI 0.62-1.14). A higher incidence of moderate-to-severe BPD-free survival was observed in high- vs. very low-utilization units, but no consistent association was observed between O/E ratio and either primary or secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION NIPPV use did not appear to decisively influence the incidence of survival without moderate-to-severe BPD in patients managed exclusively with non-invasive ventilation.
