Observational Crossover Study Comparing Oxygenation and Ventilation Using SiPAP Versus CPAP in LBW Infants

June 21, 2012 updated by: Andrea Lampland, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota

Observational Crossover Study Comparing Oxygenation and Ventilation Using Biphasic CPAP (SiPAP) Versus CPAP to Treat Respiratory Distress in Low Birth Weight Infants

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.
