Summary

This is a prospective, randomized crossover study to recognize the effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) on diaphragmatic dimensions and excursion (evaluated by ultrasonography) in preterm infants.

Conditions

  • Respirtory Distress

Interventions

DEVICE

CPAP first (Fisher & Paykel Healthcare)

Infants will start on nasal CPAP for 60 minutes and then switched to HHHFNC for anther 60 minutes. Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic dimensions and excursion will be done at the end of each 60 minute epochs.

DEVICE

HHHFNC first (Fisher & Paykel Healthcare)

Infants will start on HHHFNC for 60 minutes and then switched to nasal CPAP for anther 60 minutes. Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic dimensions and excursion will be done at the end of each 60 minute epochs.
